We are thrilled to celebrate ÀNI Artist Mitchell Bagnas, whose work has been honored in the Best of Drawing Winter 2026 issue. Mitchell earned First Place in the Strokes of Genius drawing competition for his piece Mourning Swan, a recognition that highlights both the strength of his vision and the rigor of his training.
As part of this achievement, Mourning Swan and Mitchell’s processes are showcased across four pages of the publication, an exceptional feature that underscores the impact of his work within the contemporary drawing community.
Please join us in congratulating Mitchell on this outstanding accomplishment. His dedication exemplifies the spirit of the ÀNI Art Academies, and we look forward to seeing where his continued growth and artistic exploration lead.
