Speaker Anna Eichler

Anna Eichler is a visual artist with a background in fine art, teaching young designers.

Anna is a painter, educator, mural designer and painter. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw and defended her doctoral work at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology in Warsaw.

Her artistic practice in oil on canvas focuses on interactions of colour in abstract landscapes and colour field painting, in which the Japanese concept of ma 間 – the essential and potential role of emptiness – plays a significant role. She finds paper a beautiful and expressive medium of infinite possibilities – there, she works in mixed techniques: drawing and painting, analogue and digital. Mural, as a public space art, engages her interest in social design.

Her teaching practice focuses on painting, drawing, illustration, and murals. In 2023, together with Prof. Bob Marek, she ran the workshop on tactile illustration and Braille within the International Workshops program at PJAIT NEMA to introduce the students to book design for non-sighted and partially sighted children. This Touch-Readers program is evolving towards a universal design approach.

Anna Eichler is a Representative Board Member at the European League of Institutes of the Arts (ELIA).
