Currently lives and works in Saint-Quay-Portrieux. Her works have been presented in numerous individual and collective exhibitions in Europe, particularly in France, Poland and Belgium.

Fascinated by the world of optical illusion, Anna Kropiowska realized many painted walls, interior decorations and optical illusion in the Paris region, France and Poland.

Faithful to nature - this is how Anna Kropiowska's painting could be described in a few words. This does not mean that his paintings  are copies. It is rather a spontaneous jet of a sensation, and emotion...  The light is perfectly mastered and full of perennial effects, it becomes  an energy carrier that makes animated paintings and full of flavour. The relevance of the touch, flexible, but determined, sometimes allies  with the impudence of the colours, sometimes rivals with it, to give a fairy world, and yet more real than nature. Anna Kropiowska paints directly on the motif, her favourite subjects being the landscapes captured at the moment. Her creative attitude organizes the space with a frank and sincere desire of enjoyment and pleasure of the eyes.  The images she catch’s are brief, fleeting moments that have barely begun to disappear, fade away, dissolve. She is, by her temperament, painter of ephemeral apparitions. Lidia na Champassak
