Ana Maria Guta was born in Onesti, Bacau, Romania, on January 20, 1990, shortly after the fall of communism and lives in Constanta, Romania. She spent her childhood in the countryside with her adoptive grandparents, who gave her a lot of unconditional love and the freedom to explore nature and to establish authentic relationships with the environment she came in contact with. She seeks solitude, inner peace and comprehension that have been found in nature.
She studies natural sciences at the “Vasile Alecsandri National College”, Bacau, Romania, and then she goes to Iasi to study journalism and mass communication at “Alexandru Ioan Cuza University”. After two years of journalism, Ana renounce at university because she can not express herself as she would have liked and does not want to be part of a world where there seems to be less ethical values and truth.
“I remember wanting to be more when I was little, but the first word I said to the curious people who asked me this question was painter. Then came the nun, the skater, the doctor ( but I was afraid of blood ), the journalist and the gymnast.", says Ana.
As a teenager, Ana Maria, works in different fields, learns new skills, where she seeks to be able to express herself through creativity and to serve human interests. After giving up a career in a fine jewellery multinational, in 2019 she decides that she needs to express herself doing what she loves the most, what her soul loves, try to express what she feels, thinks and tell her own truth.
Thus, she pursues her childhood desire to be a painter and also a holistic energy therapist, which can be interpreted as a meeting between a nun and a doctor. The paths of destiny are mysterious. Ana wants to contribute to changing the world for the better, to inspire and give love, courage and hope through her art and to give compassion and help through holistic energy therapy as many people as possible.
In the field of the art, Ana Maria Guta is a self-taugh artist. As an emerging artist, Ana seeks to explore more about Universe, consciousness, divinity, life journey and energy around and inside us. The visions, dreams and feelings are transposed in a very expressive way that shares the emotion energy of that unique present moment creation to the viewer, to send him into another world, without any kind of limitations. She loves to analyze the hidden parts of our indentities, through an immersive experience inside the universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness. The influences found in her art are from abstract art, nature, spirituality, the Universe, works by Vincent van Gogh, science, abstract expressionism, conceptual art and contemporary art.
The artist has many online collective exhibitions and is represented by Albe Art Gallery.

As an artist I seek to explore more about the nature of Universe, consciousness, divinity , life journey and energy around and inside us. I admit that our universe is crossed by invisible flows and currents which are found and influence the artworks of each artist. I am mesmerized about the subtle things, which are not things, thoughts, emotions or sensations, the nature of our reality and our interpretations of it due to many labels that impose different perceptions, behaviours and ways of being.
I have developed my painting technique following the lines of abstract suggestion. It is required that the viewer comes with the contemplation, feeling and interpretation. I usually prefer using acrylic on canvas as a medium and material. The green color is present almost in every painting because, for me, it is about life force, rebirth, aliveness and finding my inner self. Art is divine, it is love, peace, stillness, balance, harmony, joyfulness, it makes me whole and a much more spiritual being. The focus of my work is the colors, shapes and structures, which I want to integrate in a certain harmony in order not to imitate, dictate, compare, repeat, model or compensate.
My paintings speaks not only for me, but for people who are in a deep process of transformation and who are seeking to find life again.
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” - Nikola Tesla
Karma is about impersonal force that weighs all the facts during life and that determines, in the cycle of transmigration of souls, the quality of the next life. In our modern society, karma meaning is associated with evil. Karma is also good. I wanted to transcend duality in terms of the deep meaning of this intriguing word.
“Exits” is about breaking out, freedom, intuition, the power of shaping reality and the power of now, the present moment. The artwork was created when by mistake I discover one little gap in my canvas. The idea of doing more pop up into my head and I start painting without knowing the end result. If you missed the first exit you can find another one, you just have to look close and deep enough.
"Ascension" is about the transcendence of time, body, environment on our way to the evolution of human consciousness.
"Living in light of eternity" is about the awareness of the present moment, about the miracle of life, about the transcendence of time, of materiality and the understanding of life from a much deeper point of view, regarding the soul and the heart.
