Female Warriors&The Golden 20s

An exhibition featuring works by Hamburg-based artist Anna Ladyshenski.

Anna Ladyshenski was born in Moscow in 1988 and moved to Germany at the age of four. From an early age, art played a significant role in her life. She began painting at the age of five, developed a passion for film art, and started ballet lessons at six, training for five years at the professional ballet school of John Neumeier at the Hamburg State Opera.

Despite her love for art and dance, she chose to pursue a career in business. In 2008, Anna began an international, English-language degree in social sciences (economics, psychology, sociology, politics) at Jacobs University Bremen, which she completed successfully in 2011. Immediately afterward, she started her career at Michael Page, a well-known international recruitment consultancy. Over the past seven years, Anna Ladyshenski has progressed from a junior consultant to an Executive Manager, thanks to her sales acumen and management talent. She currently leads a team of 17 sales and recruiting staff in Hamburg and is a member of all leadership committees at Michael Page in Germany.

Alongside her full-time job, Anna has been pursuing her passion for painting again since 2017. Since 2018, she has regularly exhibited her artworks, debuting with her solo exhibition "Female Warriors" in March and April 2018. The exhibition was highlighted as a cultural tip by NDR and featured in the well-known event guide "Heute in Hamburg." Subsequent exhibitions followed, including group shows "Beyond Art" and "Women in Art," both held at the Werkkunst Galerie Hamburg in Eppendorf. At the latter, Anna participated in a panel discussion on "Women in Art." Anna Ladyshenski's art strongly revolves around themes of women and feminism in all its forms, often set against a historical backdrop.

Since 2018, Anna has been expanding her repertoire by continuing to focus on women while also addressing additional themes alongside feminism, including historical periods (such as the Roaring Twenties or the current age of technology).
