ActiveBase Art engages with social and environmental discourse to visually respond to the effects of humanity on the planet.
Showcasing the artwork of UK-based artist Anna Chudnovskaya, ActiveBase Art aspires to collaborate with charitable organisations to direct a creative and sustainable social change. Partnering scientific specialism with the creative process, we develop inter-disciplinary communication of contemporary social dialogue.
Artist Statement
Anna Chudnovskaya is a UK-based visual artist with a scientific background. Her specialisms are inter-disciplinary, combining academic achievements as a Master of Physics and PhD in Economics with creative, cultural and humanitarian studies.
Anna’s practice is guided by an excitement for a holographic universe, in which we can absorb information, sounds and colours as if they were a breath of air. The execution of her work is informed by a synthesis of European and Asian arts education, which is further enhanced by my relationship with music.
Anna’s paintings are predominantly organic subjects, display with a colour pallet which reflects the aesthetic of the information age. Experiments with translucent layers of acrylic colours and a flexible canvas have prompted the development of her Genuine Profiles methodology, in which she begins a painting by putting the canvas on to the physical subject to capture the naturally occurring shapes. The geographical locations of Genuine Profile paintings are often distant and hard to reach, further defining the creative process. Anna is passionate about the element of travel and authenticity of recording a location.




The artists are masters of impressionism. Piter’s watercolour paintings give us a feeling of peace and inner concentration, an opportunity to capture light and atmosphere. Tatiana’s works imperceptibly draws you into the plot.
The Exhibition «Captured Moments» will run from the 22 nd February until 22 nd March 2020.

In childhood everything gets decided, the greatest dreams born too, but then in
adulthood time washes them away, they fade.
However, destiny gave a brush in my hands in 2000. I grabbed it, and I couldn't,
didn't even want to put it down. It greatly changed my life and my relation to the
world.
In 1985 after I finished my A levels I worked as a shop window arranger. I got to
know painting here. I started going down on that path, I wanted to paint.
My art teachers from Békéscsaba have made a huge impact on me:
Attila Novák visual professor
Gábor Megyeri-Horváth artist and art teacher.
I started studying art at the Hungarian Institute for Culture and Art in Budapest. My
teachers were:
Huba Bálványos graphic artist
Gábor Atlasz artist
I create a lot, but it never feels I need to stop... I always look forward to taking the
brush in my hands and sitting in front of the canvas.
I like still-life painting, telling stories by the objects I chose. I love unique angles and
warm colours.
My exhibitions so far in Hungary -

Kecskemét
Hódmezővásárhely
Szeged
