Ana Ozz Discusses Watercolor Series, Upcoming 'Impossible Flowers' Exhibition, and Valencia Show

Ana Ozz, an artist who has taught herself, focuses her current work on watercolor techniques that blend loose washes with precise black outlines. Her collection of women, including the piece 'Between Silence and Distance,' showcases faceless figures and a restricted color scheme. Growing up by the northern waters, she was influenced by cold blues and greys, later moving to Valencia, where her palette expanded to include ochre, sand, terracotta, and olive. Since 2021, she has been selling original artwork online, with pieces now held in private collections across the USA and Europe. Additionally, she is working on 'Floral Stillness,' a series featuring small studies and acrylics, and preparing large-scale watercolors for 'Impossible Flowers.' Earlier this year, her work was part of the group show 'El Territorio Español' at Bloom Gallery in Valencia. Ozz, who has no formal art education, describes her creative process as experimental, sometimes beginning with a pencil sketch or diving directly into paint, often on dry paper, with black lines typically added last. She intentionally leaves faces blank to allow viewers to interpret the subjects' emotions and identities. A watercolor depicting a girl alone on rocks in Valencia captures feelings of solitude and tranquility through blues, greens, and olive hues.
