Ana Adam was born in a hill village in Transylvania and she now lives in Timișoara. She says about herself that she grew up in a world full of traditions, alive with animals and plants, a fact that opened her imagination to magic. Drawing with pencils, ink, pigments, textile threads, with scissors on paper or in it, on fabric or porcelain, in soap. Drawing poems or pictures, moving from the plane to three dimensions. Shesused to photograph states, relationships, the almost invisible or energy, the sign of actions.
Ana Adam considers herself a character and a creator, a concentrated expression of the way she finds herself in art, in shamanism, in the new unifying theories of physics, in transpersonal psychology and in mysticism. She practices art as a daily alchemy, similar to the anonymous creations of children and women. She believes in the sacredness of matter and says that this is how it receives power, being dynamic, able to transform, free to change its structure and form. It can become art.
Ana Adam created her own mythologies which can be decoded on different levels, having as characters and archetypes: the Witch, the Mushroom, the Dwarf, the Giant, the Nativity, the Sisters of Tom Bombadil, Tesla. She explores the relationship between her ever-restructuring introspective femininity and art as a vehicle for an inner journey. In her personal mythology, Ana Adam communicates with herself, lost for several thousand years in a society which has ignored the feminine, but is regaining its Power.
