Ana PEREZ GRASSANO
Was born on October 11th 1969 in Rosario, Argentina. 

Ana Pérez Grassano is both a Painter and an Architect moved to Paris more than ten years ago. She graduated from the Architecture School of Rosario. Ana has been painting since her childhood. During her art studies she got awarded several prizes.

When she arrived in France, she decided to develop her technical skills and studied both at the Architecture school of La Villette in Paris (ENSAPLV) and at the Urbanism Institute of Paris (IUP) where she graduated as well.

 

Since she arrived in France, Ana worked for Architectural firms and for big construction companies such as Technip-TPS or Bouygues Construction. Despite the increasing use of computer based techniques, Ana’s architectural projects were always drawn by hand. Her drawings came from creative initiatives and were always signed.

 

In 2012, Ana started her own Interior design firm. It enabled her to design new spaces with her own touch and thus combining her architectural skills and her art. She renovated old “Haussmanien style” apartments in Paris.

At that time, Ana followed private classes in Martin Reyna’s workshop, a well known Argentinean artist in Paris. She quickly started to develop her own artistic style. A first exhibition in Paris in November 2012 enabled Ana to sell many of her paintings and to start several new projects.

 

2013 was a turning point, Ana managed to expose her art with different artists, such as Richard Orlinsky the famous sculptor.

In 2014 Ana initiated several partnerships and projects : a first exhibition on Avenue Kléber in Paris, then the artist painted on a piano during the event “Play me I’m Yours”...

Part of the money generated by her work is given to charity.

 

As an artist Ana is preparing a partnership with the sculptor and poet Chen Dapeng for an exhibition at Olympia in London in 2015. Internationally, Ana is planning to expose her art in Hong-Kong end of 2015, after having visited the event Art Basel.

 

The artist is accompanied in her practice by Marianne Magrin, art curator, art writer, poet and philanthropist.
