Ana Novella

Ana Novella is a Catalan painter and sculptor.
She was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain on 18 October 1968. She lived in London for 7 years before returning to her birthplace in 1996.
Artistic style
The work and style of Novella has been examined in Spanish news outlet La Sexta. Novella predominantly works in murals, sculptures, and larger artistic pieces. Ángel Alonso, writing for La Sexta, notes that though Novella's art depicts modern images, it evokes the oldest forms of storytelling but also that "unlike Homer, these are open stories, fables that demand a creative attitude when receiving them".
In 2018, Novella moved to Sant Pere Pescador; she noticed that many of the people in the area were artistic but did not consider themselves artists. Encouraging them, Novella created and curated an exhibition held in 2019 to show the artwork of twelve local people whose careers in art had become established since her arrival. Novella told journalist Cristina Vilà that she was happy with how the exhibition turned out because "there is a lot of talent there are creators of all ages all of them have been dedicated to this for many years." In 2019, she also created trees for a horror festival in Sant Tomàs de Fluvià, Girona.
Novella has a daughter, Alexandra, with Williams syndrome. She illustrated the 2018 book Día de sol, which had been inspired by people with the condition.
