Anna Kovina is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the interior life of mothers through sculpture, photography, and immersive installations. Her work extends sculpture beyond the object into environments and relationships, creating spaces where the invisible emotional and somatic experiences of motherhood can be physically felt and shared.

​

Born in Moscow and raised in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Kovina immigrated to the United States at the age of seventeen. After earning degrees in finance and law and practicing law in Silicon Valley, she returned to art following the birth and upbringing of her three children. Doing motherhood remade her. It rewired the way she moves through the world and eventually became the foundation of her artistic practice.

​

Years of raising children taught her to work without certainty—to stay with what is unfinished, to solve problems as they arise, and to trust that small, repeated actions can quietly reshape lives over time. She brings that same way of working into the studio. Rather than beginning with a fixed image or outcome, each project grows from the last. Wool becomes bronze or glass. Sculpture becomes photography. Photography becomes projected light. Installations become the starting point for new work. Each stage carries traces of what came before while opening new relationships between bodies, materials, architecture, and viewers.​
