Braided Shadow – Series 34/36



Braided Shadow – Series 34/36
Anna Konrad traces a feminine back view on black paper, where a long, intricate braid cascades like a living rope from nape to base, anchoring the silhouette in rhythmic white lines. The braid’s symbol, woven strands twisting with tension and flow, evokes heritage, strength and intimate connection. The nude form’s gentle curves invite quiet reflection on vulnerability and endurance.

About the Artist
Anna Konrad is a German leisure artist studying fashion design in Berlin. Drawing has been a constant in her life since childhood; since 2013, she’s pursued it consciously alongside other creative outlets like jewelry-making to channel feelings, document daily experiences and express her personality. Memories and music fuel her greatest inspirations, manifesting in diverse media from traditional drawing and collage to digital, though she favors mixed media on paper. Her style flexes with mood and project,typically comic-like or stylized realistic, and draws from manga, animated series, video games and school art lessons.
