Anika Becker
Artist member since 2021
Toronto, Ontario
Anika Becker is an emerging artist, residing throughout Ontario, CA. Prefurring rural areas, her work depicts plant life, texture, aging and appreciation. Conceptually poking at ideas of human, animal relationships, Intertwingularity, and appreciation of elders and knowledge to create assuage between peoples. She practices with, but isn't limited to portraits. Her distinct style works well with acrylics, quick, messy demands. She exaggerates this and works fast with layers to create dark, interesting compositions. Working in a variety of ways to apply paint to create textures and details that enhance visual information from the painting. Engaging the viewer with layers and emotion that makes the viewer read further, allowing for a deeper understanding of the image.
Anika is currently an enrolled OCADU student. Presently emerging, after graduating she has aspirations to branch out to more galleries, run exhibits and teach. She aspires to teach art, expression and non conventional ways of thinking.
