WELCOME TO Acv Studio, the online gallery for Artworks by Anthe

Anthe Capitan-Valais is an award winning  Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts graduate. She is a multi-media artist. When asked about her art this is what she had to say, "I have always been an artist of some sort. When I was a child I would take the cardboard pieces out of my dad's laundered shirts to paint and draw upon. I couldn't wait for the next delivery of clean shirts as it would be   loaded with many a blank canvas for me to my mixed media creations.

The arts are my passion... Creating work is much like breathing, I simply do it because you must to stay alive. The creation of my art is a means for me to express my faith in God, glorifying him, and giving Him honor. I have always had a love of the Mexican & Greek Iconography. My travels to both countries have enabled me to incorporate their color sense into my imagery. I have felt the desire to convey multiple meanings in much of my work and to provoke thought. Nothing in life is exactly what it appears to be and art in my estimation should reflect the same as life, the unexpected.

Years ago I was a dancer. It was fun and exciting way of expressing myself. I was hit by a drunk driver and that put an end to my dancing career but not to the passion within. Now through my love of art, I am able to once again express the movements I remember so vividly. I am creating works which are inspired by drawings that I have done by monitoring classes or attending performances. I hope you enjoy this new direction in my art as much as I do making these creations."
