  Anda aims to create a highly perceptual experience. When visually drawn in to Anda's painting

  the viewer is not always sure what they are looking at. Is it a painting? How is it made? Is the painting depicting something. These questions provoke the imagination and pull a viewer into a creative experience of their own. Anda's process causes one to consider the tools available for creative expression and communication in our contemporary age.
