In an era overwhelmed by frenzy and constant movement, Anna Lisei Math‘s art stands out for the tranquillity and suspended atmosphere it evokes. The nature she depicts conveys a feeling of profound calm and invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and look within.
The absence of the human figure gives way to trees, leaves, starry skies, and a few hazy landscapes; a nature analyzed and reproduced in paintings that seem to compose a large puzzle, where shapes and colours fit together harmoniously to create a work where Nature herself, is the protagonist.
An unconventional nature, capable of creating a silent and contemplative place, a refuge that invites meditation and inner listening.
A choice that contrasts with the hyper-connected and technological world of our time, a reflective and “slow” art that requires attention and dedication to be truly understood. “Slow art,” a way of experiencing it with greater awareness and depth, invites us to pause before the works, observe them, and allow ourselves to be drawn in. In this way, the artistic experience becomes a moment of reflection and emotional connection: it allows us to empathize with what we see, creating impressions.
In the series “Hier war mein Kaisertum,” the artist explores an apparent stillness, where the stars transform into white points of light, suspended in a sky that fades from azure to blue and yellow.
The stillness that characterizes the expansive panoramas leaves room for the emotions each viewer experiences when faced with them, a seemingly simple image that nevertheless takes on different meanings based on each of our individual experiences.
Short, vibrant, and compact brushstrokes define “Lärchenwald III,” the 2020 work where a swathe of yellow pine trees occupies the entire canvas. A silent, still vision, with the pointed, close-set treetops creating a striking, rigorous, schematic interplay.
The growing interest in Anna Lisei Math’s works demonstrates how, in a world that runs fast, our gaze turns to those who know how to stop time: art thus becomes an invitation to serenity, where silence transforms into beauty.
From 2021 to 2025, Anna Lisei Math held four solo and two-person exhibitions in Germany, after completing a course of study at the University of Fine Arts in Münster. Her latest exhibition, “Echolot,” was created together with artist Soojie Kang and was held in Cologne from July 5 to August 3, 2025. The result was an engaging and colourful exhibition where the two artists’ paintings stood out against the white backdrop of the walls. Nature and landscape are the true protagonists, creating a structure that recurs in multiple works and generating the ideal atmosphere for letting oneself be guided by tranquillity.
