Anna Mes (Koog aan de Zaan, 1935) mainly makes large abstract works that stand out because the areas of color are connected like a patchwork quilt. In these color areas one finds a lively visual language of surreal signs, carvings and remnants of North Holland landscapes and buildings. Originally a textile designer, she masters many disciplines, including gouache. Mes' gouache works are much smaller and more introverted than her expressive canvases. Mes gets her inspiration from, among other things, her walks along the Camperduins beach near Alkmaar. During these walks along the coastline, she studies the light and the splendor of colours. In her compositions, that northern light returns again and again, with a brightly overexposed color scheme that almost feels Scandinavian. Not surprising, because she spent quite some time in Sweden. The creation of the paintings and work on paper takes place in small steps. Mes states: ''Everything revolves around feeling and order. I am constantly organizing, nothing but organizing. And that's how I try to make things whole. My sadness, my drama, my love is in the landscape I look at. You can see in my work what goes on inside me. My canvases are not separate from my life."
