Kazmina

Anna Kazmina, born in 1987 in Moscow,from 2009 living and working at Beijing. Kazmina holds a Ph.D. in Fine Arts from Beijing Normal University and graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Lomonosov Moscow State University. She showcasing her work at esteemed venues worldwide, including Shanghai ART021, Cosmoscow Contemporary Art Fair, Blazar Young Art Fair, Moscow‘s Ground Biennale and the Beijing Biennale. Her work has received recognition, earning her “The Best Concept” by the Contemporary art fair and the first prize at the Titian International Art Prize of Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts and a nomination for the Zverev Art Prize.Anna Kazmina's art invites us to contemplate the core principles that shape our contemporary society, the creative processes that give birth to new ideas, and how these concepts influence our actions on both personal and societal levels.  Kazmina's work is a relentless pursuit of authenticity, seeking to break free from the confines of commercialism and societal stereotypes. She strives to uncover hidden potential within the human experience and the world, which she envisions as a unified multiverse, a living organism.
One of the most striking aspects of her worldview is her ability to seamlessly transition from a microscopic focus to a macroscopic perspective, weaving together a myriad of meaning structures into a singular, concentrated thought space. Through her artistic research and experimentation, objects are transformed into organic structures reminiscent of geological phenomena, uniting the universe and humanity into a complex, interconnected system. The artist expresses her integrated intuitive-rational perception of the world through various mediums, including painting, graphics, sculpture, video, and installations, blending different logics and approaches. Iterating mechanical and human craftsmanship to create her works, Kazmina reshapes, melts, and sculpts new configurations. By crushing patterned porcelain, crumpling drawings, tearing existing images, and stripping away layers of paint, among other manipulations, the artist explores and renders the fusion of the organic and inorganic, the artificial and natural, and the symbiosis between humanity and technology. What sets Anna Kazmina apart her distinctive blend of Russian, European, and Chinese artistic traditions and schools. Her artistic journey commenced with the intricate color palettes and profound psychological depth characteristic of Russian realism. She explored various artistic motifs from European art history. During her studies in China, she delved deep into the interplay of opposing forces researching their intricate balance in calligraphy. She also immersed herself in Chinese painting, with its unique quality of unity between background and subject, along with other distinctive features. This extensive journey ultimately led the artist to discover and define her own creative approach.
