If I have to define artistic statement of Anna, I would mention few lines of a poem by Mihai Eminescu:
By my own illusion consumed I'm wailing
On my own grim pyre in flames I'm melting...
Can I hope to rise again like the Phoenix
Bird from the ashes?
(Ode (in ancient meter),by Mihai Eminescu, translated into English by Andrei Bantas)
Explosive, unpredictable, longing for life without the end, Anna is reinventing herself permanently. One of her last projects, “Art Crematorium” is an illustration of her artistic believe: “burning everything and reconstructing again!”
As the Alexandria library, that, after burning became the most mysterious and desired legend, Anna’s creation is burning emotions, feelings, moments of life and non-life and is transposing them through the fire of passion and creation on the canvases, colour palette being the first step to the Purgatory!
Apparently, morbid Alchemy of the crematorium is a gate to another reality, a cyclic one, one of a flexible spirit that is permanently looking for its continuous perfection!
In her journeys to future life’s Anna is using as a portal the past – Neolithic goddess, Byzantine symbols, medieval knights; former kings and queens are reappearing on Anna’s paintings. The past is becoming present and future re - burned, restored by Anna’s purgatory.
Anna’s passion for history and its cultural heritage brought her to ART&HERITAGE community, an association affiliated to UNESCO Clubs network. Cooperation followed by today project: opening of the Exhibition Centre for UNESCO “Nicolae Balcescu” that will host the creativity studio “Art Crematorium”, leaded by Anna Ravliuc and her working team.
The objective of the Art Crematorium activity is to teach people the science of artistic sensitivity and to develop creativity skills. It is designed to train the professionals as well as the beginners, to open the gates of soul to another dimension of understanding of the cultural heritage values. Clay is becoming history just after it is burning. After the test of fire it is not decomposing anymore in the ground, it is becoming an archaeological value!
We are inviting you to burn something…
In the Art Crematorium, of course!!!

Daca ar fi sa definesc temperamentul artistic al Annei, as folosi o strofa din Oda in metru antic, de Mihai Eminescu:
“De-al meu propriu vis, mistuit mă vaiet,
Pe-al meu propriu rug, mă topesc în flăcări...
Pot să mai reanviu luminos din el ca
Pasărea Phoenix?”
Expoziva, imprevizibila, plina de visari si sete de viata fara de moarte Anna se reinventeaza mereu. Ultimul sau proiect “Art Crematorium” este o ilustrare vie a trairii artictice: “ardem totul si reconstruim din nou!”
Precum biblioteca din Alexandria, care, a ars si prin asta a ramas o legenda vie, creatia Annei arde sentimente, trairi, momente din viata si ne-viata si le transpune prin focul pasiunii si creatiei pe panza, paleta fiind doar anticamera din purgatoriu!
Alchimia, aparent morbida a crematoriului este de fapt o transpunere intr-o alta realitate, una ciclica, a spiritului care isi cauta desavarsirea prin numeroase materializari, in eterna cautare a perfectiunii!
In calatoriile sale in vieti urmatoare Anna foloseste drept portal trecutul, astfel incat zeite eneolitice, simboluri bizantine, cavaleri medievali si regi cu regine din vremuri demult apuse apar periodic pe panzele Annei, reevaluind trecutul, regandindul, luptand cu fantomele nefastei uitari.
Pasiunea Annei pentru trecutul istoric si pentru valorile patrimoniului cultural au adus-o in comunitatea ART&HERITAGE, o asociatie neguvernamentala afiliata Cluburilor UNESCO, dupa care a urmat proiectul CENTRULUI CULTURAL pentru UNESCO “Nicolae Balcesu” sub egida caruia se deschide astazi Centrul Expozitional pentru UNESCO “Nicolae Balcescu” , care va gazdui atelierele de creatie si creativitate artistica “Art Crematorium” conduse de Anna si echipa sa de lucru.
In cadrul atelierului se vor organiza lectii de pictura pentru incepatori si avansati, proiectii de filme si productii de specialitate, happening-uri si simpozioane artistice.
Lutul, dupa ardere nu mai devine pamant, devine chiar si dupa ce e spart obiect de importanta arheologica...
Va invitam sa ardeti ceva ...
In Art Crematorium, bineinteles!
