The interdisciplinary approach in Ana’s art practice is based on her experience as a psychologist and artist. Her current focus is on mixed media installations, which includes creating art objects, paintings, collage, graphics, video.

"Ana Saut's art works are historically and plastically connected to the birth of her child, to the change of her psyche, physiology and life mission. The unique space of her artistic matter testifies to the artist's special ecological creative method, but at the same time it brings back the memory of the childhood of all living things, the nature of the invisible borders that pass between the physical and the ideal world, between the emotional and poetic point of view and the intellectual comprehension of visual experiences. Capturing the metaphorical topography of personal life space, Ana connects it to the viewer with all traces of her dramas, hopes and blissful insights. The artist harmonizes her personal unstable equilibrium by transforming the experience of a radically determined being into a historical universality."
