Anna Collevecchio (b. 1988, St. Petersburg, Russia) is a Jersey City–based contemporary artist whose practice bridges painting, design, and consciousness studies. Trained in graphic arts (BA) and communication studies (MA, PhD), she spent over a decade working at the intersection of design, education, and branding before returning to her first calling: fine art. Since 2010, she has exhibited internationally in more than thirty exhibitions, with recent solo and group shows in New York and New Jersey.

Collevecchio is the originator of Temporal Psychoexpressionism, a process-driven practice that fuses watercolor, spackling paste, and gilded accents to create luminous, fresco-like surfaces. Each work is built stroke by stroke—often numbering in the thousands—and titled by its exact count, turning painting into both meditation and durational record. This method reflects her interest in time, vibration, and the unseen energies that shape lived experience.

Her compositions often take the form of circles, hexagons, and other sacred geometries, intended as portals that invite viewers into heightened states of perception. Inspired by meditation, Hemi-Sync sound technologies, and cross-cultural spiritual traditions, Collevecchio’s work explores the meeting point of science and mysticism, inner life and outer cosmos.

In addition to her studio practice, Collevecchio is an active member of the Jersey City arts community as a resident artist at ART150. She has curated group exhibitions, collaborated with fellow artists on interdisciplinary installations, and placed work in hospitality and corporate collections, including luxury hotels in Florida. Her work has been reviewed by critic Tris McCall (Eye Level) and featured in platforms such as Saatchi Art and Bluethumb.

Collevecchio’s ongoing projects include the Color Breathing sculpture series and Convergence, a body of orrery-inspired installations that map the resonance between human consciousness and cosmic order. Across media, her aim is consistent: to create objects that function simultaneously as artworks, meditative instruments, and energetic transmissions.

She lives and works in Jersey City with her husband and young daughter, who often joins her in the studio—continuing a family lineage of artistic practice that began with her mother, a cityscape painter in St. Petersburg.

I am a woman who counts time. Since the beginning of humanity, women have been its keepers—the first calendars marked by the rhythms of the menstrual cycle, bodies aligned with the moon. My practice continues this lineage. Every painting I make is built from thousands of small strokes, each one taking a fraction of a second, each one tallied on the sides of the artwork. It's my calling, my statement, my record and my meditation.

I call this process Temporal Psychoexpressionism and all components of my practice have sacred meaning. I use spackling paste, because it is used to make frescoes; circular and hexagon shapes because they're divine portals; watercolor, because water retains memory; and metal leaf because it's a conductor of electric energy. I count brushtrokes as I paint, stop at 100 and write down the number: archiving time through expression of color and shape.

Through my work, I invite viewers to feel time not as abstraction, but as resonance: female, cyclical, embodied, and eternal.
