Anna Mikheeva

Anna Mikheeva is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily in oil painting. In her practice, she explores identity as a process situated between disintegration and the attempt at reconstruction.

In her works, the human figure loses its integrity and appears as a trace, fragment, or structural element. These elements undergo displacement, erosion, and transformation, reflecting internal contradictions and the influence of external systems.

Fragmentation in her practice is not a final state. On the contrary, it becomes a starting point for the search for a new form of wholeness. Through repetition, layering, and the organization of elements, the artist constructs systems in which temporary states of balance emerge.

In some works, fragments disperse into space, suggesting uncertainty. In others, they are highly structured, referencing mechanisms of control, classification, and order. This tension between disintegration and structure forms the foundation of her visual language.

A recurring reference to the roly-poly toy introduces the idea of a striving for balance, while also emphasizing instability. Stability here is not a static condition, but a continuous process of return that requires engagement.

Anna Mikheeva’s practice is focused not on destruction, but on the act of creation — a pursuit of harmony within conditions of instability, temporality, and an always unfinished state, capturing a moment in the continuum of existence.
