Ana Bikic has been an active advocate for the environment using her artistic talents
to further awareness for many years in South Florida. Professionally trained in the
fine arts in Argentina and Europe , Ana challenges medium and technique in acrylic
that few fine artists can achieve with brushwork only. Translating glaze formulars
from oil to acrylic. Using collage handmade paper, water color and carved block
printing, traditional techniques present new approaches .
Ecosymbolism Art ,writen by the artist,is a call to fully understand our heritage as
studied fine artists,to express with humanity's symbols an iconography of hope,
positivism and inspiration for noble solutions.
The EcoSymbolism Art web site that Ana created in 2006 has drawn the attention of the
International Print Society and the Vienna Art publishers.
Ana will be exhibiting at the Books and Books Gallery in Feb.1/ to Mar.2

canvases of South Florida's marine life.

edition ,Nov. 07 features one of Ana's Paintings poly block prints as front cover image.
Ana believes that art should inspire us to protect our natural world. That the language of
visual symbols are a responsibility as well as a tool to educate and inspire values .
