My name is Ana Balzán. ​I was born and raised in Venezuela. I am an acrylic painter and figurative sculptor based in Longmont, Colorado. Drawing inspiration from the diverse landscapes, wildlife, and the numerous bird species that inhabit or migrate through the state, my artistic journey has been a reflection of the vibrant tapestry of nature. Recently, I’ve expanded my artistic exploration into the realm of portrait painting.

My sculptures, crafted with meticulous attention, come to life through the manipulation of clay slabs. I employ techniques such as molding, pushing, and adding clay to sculpt and refine them until I achieve the desired results. As a sculptor, I immerse myself in the narratives of my most personal experiences as a woman, mother, caregiver, and artist.

This year, I am excited to announce my entry into the narrative of the human figure and its profound relationship with movement and contact. This new chapter in my artistic journey promises to unravel fresh perspectives and stories through the expressive medium of sculpting with clay.

2024 I will be giving classes at my studio. Visit my website anabalzan.com for more information.
