In these pre-2006 paintings, Ana Bianchi's  chosen palette of muted blues, greys and siennas enhances an all-pervading sense of loss.  Some images appear to be trace memories of places visited; others seem to offer a bleak vision of the future.  These Hopperesque paintings are both serene and uncanny, imbued with a timeless quality whose narrative is bleak yet seductive.

In April 2009 she exhibited at Gallery 27, Cork Street in a double show with Cornish artist Caroline Delevingne. In May 2009 she had a solo show at the St Giles Street Gallery in Norwich. She was one of the artists selected for the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition held at the Mall Galleries in November 2009. She has been included in a book by Jacob Sutton "British Art Now" and she exhibits regularly at Art London, the London Art Fair, Islington and the 20/21 British Art Fair at the Royal Academy.

Her work can be seen at the Brian Sinfield Gallery, Burford, the COSA Gallery, London W11; the Moncrieff Bray Gallery in Petworth, Kent; and the Flint Gallery in Blakeney, North Norfolk.
