Biography

An artist, designer and creator, holder of prestigious international awards, regular participant of international exhibitions.
Anastasia’s works were published in international magazines, books, internet resources, TV multiple times.
Studied at artistic gymnasium in Rostov-on-Don. Graduated from the Institute of Architecture and Arts of the Southern Federal University in 2010. Later got additional education in British Higher School of Art and Design and RANEPA . Since 2011 Anastasia lives and works in Moscow, Russia.
She founded a laboratory of innovative design “A.R.Novate” with her husband in 2012.
Fine art is an important aspect of Anastasia’s creative activity. In abstract painting she combines experiments with materials, techniques and a special creative approach.
«When working on paintings, I am trying to transfer everything that is going on inside me on a canvas. In most cases I am painting without sketches to save these emotions that induced me to creative activities.
It’s fundamental for me to transfer this energetic stream that appears inside me as a result of certain situation – indignation, joy, etc. Thanks to these feelings I am implementing the true meaning – that makes my artwork sincere and truthful. It’s impossible to play the emotions, you can only experience it. I am experiencing it on canvas.
I am inspired by both joyful moments – love and delivery of a child, and protest against certain social situations, which take place in the world: replacement of true values by material things; surfeit of information streams, that make human development worse and don’t let him follow his heart; fault goals, formed by social racing etc.
In my opinion, the real emotion vitalizes the painting, fill it with energy, and the sense, that I involve in a painting, reflects my outlook, my philosophy of life. »
