Anna Chromý is a Czech painter and sculptor.
At the end of World War II, Chromy's family moved from Bohemia to Vienna, Austria.
Her family did not have enough money for her to attend art school however, so only after she married and moved to Paris was it possible.
She received her education at the École des Beaux-Arts.
It was here she realised an interest in Salvador Dalí and other surrealists, and began using the soft colours of William Turner in her paintings. A life-threatening accident in 1992 meant that Chromy was unable to paint for eight years.
She turned her attention to sculpture using bronze and marble as her media.
