03 STATEMENT

Through artworks the artist aim to capture the spirit of our times and reflect the complex nature of contemporary existence. Anna believes that we are all Shadow Men. We navigate the world, engaging with it on multiple levels, yet we instinctively shield parts of ourselves from the external gaze.

Like all of us, Shadow Man explores everything around him, immersing himself in the thick of things. Yet, he chooses to stay in the shadows and remain faceless, preserving his private life, values, and secrets from the public eye. Artist’s work invites viewers to contemplate this duality within their own lives — the balance between what we reveal and what we conceal, the public persona and the private self.

Through Shadow Man as the main art character, Chekh depicts these ideas in a catchy and artistic way. All her artworks carry a deep sense, revealing people’s behavior patterns and social masks. Anna strives to create a space for reflection and connection. Her art seeks to evoke a sense of shared experience and understanding, highlighting the universal human condition.
