Anastasia Kurakina
In both her portraits and striking figurative paintings, internationally renowned artist Anastasia Kurakina seeks to deeply probe a subject beyond what can be purely represented in a given piece.
Born in Moscow in 1987, Kurakina spent her childhood surrounded by art, poring over books about the Italian Renaissance at an early age. Her love of art led her to study at several prestigious art schools including the Academy of Fine Arts of Russia, the Academy of Fine Arts Rome, where she obtained a master’s degree in fine art and, in 2018, the Sorbonne University in Paris.
In her figurative, abstract and interior paintings, Kurakina uses rich colors and provocative shapes to explore a bit more than what is eventually represented on the canvas. Throughout her artistic career, Kurakina’s expressive figurative and nude watercolors have garnered critical acclaim, with many critics drawing comparisons to the styles of such masters as Gustav Klimt, David Hockney and others. Since her first exhibition in Moscow in 2005, she has participated in shows around the world, including galleries and museums in Los Angeles, Mexico, London, Milan and elsewhere.
Kurakina’s works are held in the collections of the Nonantola Benedictine Museum and Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art, the Centro Nazionale di Studi Manzoniani, the International Museum of Humor in Art in Tolentino and more.

"The aspects of life form my palette: sensual, psychological, olfactory, visual and instinctive. My paintings are born as a puzzle of elements of various kinds: the flavors of the dishes, the laughter of a child, the spots on the fur of a hare fleeing in the woods, the reflection of the sunset in the glass of a lemon juice. These elements are not faithfully reproduced on the canvas but are transformed very often and unpredictably into another substance: the flavor appears as a silhouette of a dancer, the laughter of a child becomes a pink cloak of this dancer, the color of the hare become her hair that shines in the light of day and the sun reflected in the orange juice inspires me to make a sand under the feet of this dancer.
