We had the good fortune of connecting with Anhelina Sira and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anhelina, why did you pursue a creative career?
It was not a desire, rather an urge. Makeup artistry healed my anxiety and depression issues that occurred after the move to the US. I almost wanna think that I owe to this urge of mine to create. It ushers me through beautiful experiences that my art brings, which eventually shaped me into the person I am today.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a makeup artist and aspiring filmmaker with a special place in my heart for editorial beauty. I’ve always loved an idea of editorial makeup being a form of escapism to get away from conventional beauty standards. It is an enchanting experience – to be a walking piece of art and speak a story – without saying a word .
I am most excited about my move to Atlanta and introduction to local beauty, fashion and film community. As I am growing a passion for cameras and film , I can’t wait to combine my visual art skills with storytelling to unleash what craves to be shared.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The Botanical Garden will always be my place of power. As somebody who is new to the area, I am down to take recommendations and explore together!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Calliope Films – a video production company in Pensacola, FL that introduced me to a local community there. Pensacola is a city I lived in before moving to ATL.
