Anna Konrad’s white-line silhouette of a veiled feminine form on black paper shimmers with stars filling her profile, like celestial guardians emerging from shadow. The symbol, a woman whose contours dissolve into sparkling points, captures cosmic inner light, echoing ancient Venus figures with a crochet balaclava drape for handmade protection. Her profile is veiled by the textured drape of a Bila Tserkva handmade crochet balaclava. The balaclava, crafted by Ukrainian women artisans during wartime, honors Bila Tserkva, a resilient cultural hub south of Kyiv where a Russian Il-76 was downed in the Battle of Vasylkiv, symbolizing Ukraine’s unbreakable spirit.

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.
