Ljuba Ananina was born in the northern city Arkhangelsk. Because she painted since childhood, so she graduated from Art School and then she graduated from the Art and Pedagogical Lyceum in Arkhangelsk. As an adult, she completed an oil painting course in Brno. She also participated in the master classes of the Ukrainian painter Elena Ilychova and an American painter Trisha Adams.

​

Along with her art education, she has a master's degree in economics and works in the field of finance and accounting. But like many people she realizes the needness to be a part of nature, to stop and perceive being around us.

 

„People are overwhelmed with information, tasks and results at work. Our current life is so fast that we rarely realize the value of ordinary beautiful moments or objects around us. For me it was the reason why I returned to painting. In my paintings I would like to show the beauty of ordinary things around us, the beauty of the present moment.“
