What if art sometimes emerged from chaos ?
In 2018, Anna Coccia had no intention of becoming an artist. She wasn’t looking for it. Nothing pointed her in that direction. And yet… In just a few years, this self-taught painter has made her mark in Rome, Tokyo, and New York with a body of work that is raw, poetic, and deeply moving.
A pervasive blue, a sincere and instinctive painting style, free from conventions. Anna Coccia doesn’t paint to please. She paints to survive.
Burnout as a starting point
She worked in communications. A fast-paced, high-performing executive. Until one day, her body gave out. Burnout. Collapse. Silence.
But in that silence, something sparked. A piece of cardboard. Some paint. A breath.
Nothing was planned. Just urgency. A visceral need to let the chaos inside spill out in color.
“I painted because I couldn’t speak anymore.”
A painting style that is free, sincere, and profoundly human
What strikes you in Anna’s paintings is the complete lack of strategy. No formal training. No method. Just pure emotional force.
The forms are blurred, the gestures sweeping, the colors organic. Blue dominates, like a lifeline.
And yet, something universal emerges. A language that resonates without needing to be explained.
