Anastasia Kurakina is an internationally renowned visual artist. To date, she has been exhibiting internationally (Moscow, Mexico, Los Angeles, London, Milan, Venice, Switzerland, Oxford, Cambridge, St. Petersburg, Rome, Porto Cervo and other locations) in galleries, museums and unusual contests. She is the winner of many national and international art awards. Kurakina’s works are present in the collections of the Vatican Museums in Rome, in the International Museum of Humor in Art in Tolentino, in the National Museum of Sacred Art in Nonantola, in the Centro di Studi Manzoniani in Milan, in the Nina Lobanova — Rostovskaya collection in London, in the Marchesi Sacchetti collection in Rome and in many other private collections in Italy, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, United States, China, etc.
Kurakina“s works are a personal interiorization that matches the search for a deeper meaning, beyond visible reality. Her”s is a desire to go beyond the pure representation of reality, a need to tell something that goes beyond the external aspect, that something that speaks of the inner part of those who are portrayed. Kurakina responds to an ancestral and primary need, namely the desire to stop a memory and make it materially eternal. The artist’s attention is directed towards the inner life of the subject, where shapes and colors become the way of expressing more than physicality: portraits that excite the observer, who manages to enter into the representation of emotions but also into the inner essence of people. The faces are enriched with subtle and beautifully refined expressions that reveal an emotional world overflowing with emotions and dreams.

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.
