Anastasia Voltchok is a Swiss-based visual artist whose work emerges from the same expressive force that drives her acclaimed career as a concert pianist. Born in Moscow into a family of musicians and honoured with the Gold Medal at the World Piano Competition in Cincinnati, she has performed on major stages across Europe and the United States.
Painting became a parallel language for Voltchok—one that can be seen and felt. Working in acrylics, oils and pastels, she creates smooth, vibrant surfaces that channel the energy of a fleeting moment. Her subjects draw on travel, memory and intimate emotional experience, always guided by a desire to connect directly with the viewer.
Voltchok has exhibited her paintings in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, the USA and beyond. In 2017, a poetry book combining her texts and artworks was published in St. Petersburg. She continues to explore the resonance between sound and image—most notably performing and painting live at the Auditorium Rainier III in Monte Carlo.
