Peek into the packed studio of painter Ana Benaroya, whose bold paintings of women radiate with queer desire:
Jersey City-based artist Ana Benaroya is known for her dazzling paintings of muscle-bound women made in eye-popping Fauvist tones—think blue skin, green hair, and every color variation in between. The women in the pictures bristle with confidence: they ride horses, stride through ocean waves, and speed down highways in convertibles, cigarettes dangling out of their mouths.
Aside from the obvious of paint and paintbrush, I love my little jumpsuit that I wear when I paint. I’ve had it for like five years now. It was once all white and now it’s covered in different kinds of paints and gesso. It’s not only practically helpful, but it helps me get in the mindset when I enter the studio, to have this uniform.
What I look forward to most is uninterrupted time in the studio, which is such a generic response, but it’s true! Of course, I’m very much enjoying talking to you, but I love a day where I can just go to the studio without any lunch plans or meetings or even social plans in the evening. It’s nice to just have a day that’s just a solid day.I’ve heard that you like to paint in themes.
I liked that relationship. I was also looking at paintings by Renoir and Bonnard and thought that even in art history, there’s a lineage of women appearing by water, cleaning themselves, or being reborn.
