WELCOME TO ANNA BOROS ART. (Please Scroll down)
A rather whimsical work, though the truth of the matter is that I have had 13 cats in my loungeroom, though quite some years ago. I used to rescue cats, but I do not do it on such a large scale these days. Unfortunately, people in my area who were renting that could not afford to rent anymore, left their animals behind for other people to take care of the homeless. Its quite the disgusting part about human nature isn’t it, right?
I Love Meow. 1st Jan2022. ink on 220gsm on acid free card. A3 in size.
I Love Meow is a whimsical piece done in the cartoon style. As you can see, the work is drawn about an old cat lady who loves her 4 cats. The page has many banners saying the title of the work in glyphs- just like a little coded message.
There are many different types of pots scattered around this world. Pots off fur, cat poo smells, whiskers, playtime, pat cats pats, purrs, fur balls, cat scratches, claw stabs, whiskers, and above all, love. The 4 cats all have something to say which are so typical of cats being their own unique personalities. Reading them you will be heartened.
This small collection of in situs below can give you an idea of where the original can be placed and also where a large print of the work can be utilised as well. Original A3. Prints from A4 to poster size.
I enjoy using cartooning to come up with colourful, sometimes childish, artwork. Some cartooning is necessary for a particular concept etc, but drawing these can be so soothing for me, because i can just let go and doodle away- like this one. Serious thought can be used for my more serious works, but i do believe joy can be passed on with the almost silliness and wonder of these particular types of works.

Just before the end of a passing year, I endeavour to keep to a tradition of making a drawing before the year goes out . Sometimes, it is not possible, but this time it was, and it is probably because most of us are at home having a quiet time in, not venturing out for parties so much, due to the new Omicron Virus. So before I entered into 2022, I drew this A3 sized work as something amusing to bide the time away. I do like a few easier works before I set out on a major work again. The inspiration for this was that recently, a fellow artist told me that ‘ You do love your cats’ due to me having quite a few drawings and some paintings of them. So I had a giggle, and called the bluff, and did this particular drawing of which another was added in 2022 titled ‘ I Love Meow’ in the January 2022.
This original is an A3 size on 220 GSM Acid Free Card. Drawn Comic style in ink outlining, and Derwent coloured pencils which gives it a ‘young feel’ about it. The texture in the work is made obvious for this reason. I guess it could go well, enlarged for a children’s room, or just a fun animal lovers abode.
It is colourful and some of the individual cat drawings are quite funny: ie. The drooling kitty, the anime kitty, the toothy kitty, and so on.
Irises. Anna Boros. Completed 7th December 2021.
Acrylic on canvas measuring unframed, 60cms High, and 50cms Wide.
This work is currently unframed.
This is a conceptual work. It is about bringing incongruent styles together to form balance and harmony. Often we think that certain aspects may not fit or may not complement the other. Certain things certainly can but often it’s up to the artist to think outside the box…Often, this is where one can find these in. This is where we can make new art, new fashion. New styles, and even break rules. Ultimately, in the end, it is the vote of the many that will take a new ideal under its wing. This of course is whether it can serve the need of many, or otherwise, wait until time changes it.

The wedding took place in October 2019 at the Japanese Gardens in Auburn NSW Australia.
This is painted using a photograph as reference. The venue has beautiful gardens with lots of different sections, some with beautiful green lakes and romantic curved bridges. So many trees everywhere. Just gorgeous! In this area where they are here, there were lots of geese, and no more peacocks to be seen in this section. There were lots of large standing rocks and fenced in areas of bright orange stained fencing. It is a rather quirky situation I am sure you would agree, but it surely fits with this pair of lovebirds, with their love for all life, birds and animals.
This is an A3 sized drawing in mixed Media- Watercolour and ink.
A drawing and painting.
It is a Conceptual work with representational Esoteric glyphs and imagery.
Description:
To the left of the centrally themed Stargazer Fish, we see a broken green hand painting a bright , teal, and pimply Stargazer fish.
There are people at the bottom of the art painting with strange bodies. All of their faces seem to be waiting for something, and they seem to show expressions of wondering as to’ what will be next’.
There is a cat person in the mix of this lined group as it fishes for fish in a little pond of water next to a shower drain.
Over to the right of the work on a black and white tiled and diamond patterned background, a break of gold lava flowing in tricklets across the floor towards the front of the people.
The stargazer fish, which is central to the drawing, is brightly coloured and stylised, and above its head at the top of the page is a weirdly fingered shaped hand throwing coins, water droplets, fire, diamonds, and a short sword into the air above the fish. The expression on the fish is unfazed, concentrating on itself being painted by the broken green hand.
The Concept in this drawing is about the artist, (though broken), is still lively and fresh (green) , with the ability to conceptualise how her business (fish) is going to be ‘painted’.
She has thrown all her elements into the business. There is danger across its whole game play. ( black and white tiles) . The danger of the Stargazer fish! …and as you know, doing business can be a bit of a gamble, Stargazer fish like to hide under the sand and catch unsuspecting prey by pouncing and gulping with a snap of it’s fishy sharp teeth!
Business can be like this, and as we become our own business, we have to watch out for people like the Stargazer Fish!
The humans below, though odd in their appearance, represent her own personality traits, and what elements occur while she plans, expresses and moves herself towards the overall art business vision.
The name of the work is a move to a place where she acquiesces her present situation and goes forth diplomatically with acceptance and somewhat blind faith, trusting in herself and her faith as it unfolds itself in time.
Move To Acquiescence is a work that has proven to be appreciated by artists due to its concept and the juxtopositioning of its imagery.
It has a profound conceptual narrative.
Titled ‘Success’. This abstract is about women freeing themselves from domination and finding freedom. Freedom to dress, behave, be educated, to marry whomever they prefer, to vote.
The work without frame measures 60cms x 60cms. Approx 24″ x 24″.
This work is painted with fluorescent paints on canvas.
Fancy Florals was completed 21st January 2021. It is a mixed media drawing of Ink and the colouring procured with soft pastels. I specifically chose the pastels for this thick 200GSM Canson paper because pastels have glowing, iridescent properties due to their crystalline pigments. So, when I view this work, there seems to be a realism about it because of the pigments. Its hard to explain but it enchants the work.
