About the Item

artist: Anastasia Kurakina limited edition print on paper hand signed Anastasia dialogues with the chromatic material which she lets flow freely onto the support, touching the most intimate strings of the viewer”s soul. They are colorful emotions that cling to the support and that are established in the soul through the perception of the visual impulse. Each color represents an emotion and a feeling, vibrating on the support, becoming the narrative of an eternalized fleeting moment. Anastasia Kurakina is an internationally renowned visual artist who has already had over ten years of experience,. 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.

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. I am looking for a new interpretation of the visible" Anastasia Kurakina
