Fine art is an important aspect of Anastasias 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 the works I use
mixed technique often, as I constantly search for and enjoy the process of the
experiment itself. I work with a palette knife and acrylic paints, but I use
them a little differently than is customary. I often do not mix paints
mechanically, but do it optically, applying them in layers. Sometimes I see
somthing subject, and I understand that it is it that symbolizes the meaning of
the idea in my head. Therefore, it happens that unexpected things take place in
my works.
In my work, the most
important thing for me is to reflect my vision of the world, to tell my concept
through emotions and sensations.»
