The artist recalls that at an early age she loved to spend hours and hours leafing through art books of the Italian Renaissance, contemplating the beauty and mastery of the cornerstones of art history. Kurakina since the age of three has always known that she would become a painter and, from that moment on, that great passion has always been well rooted and present in her state of mind. In her works we can find many memories of the great masters of contemporary art including Modigliani, Morandi, Bacon, Hockney, Van Gogh, Klimt, Schiele… , proof of her commendable craftsmanship and progressive stylistic evolution. Each work of Kurakina has a history and its development in which she is not only the creator but she participates in the creative process of which result she is quite unaware,and Anastasia loves to continually surprise herself with her own creations.
In search of the human essence
As an artist, Anastasia Kurakina nurtures a great fondness for human beings. Fascinated by the complex psychology of each individual, she repeatedly tries to capture those characteristics that define our uniqueness. This is why she prefers to work from living models. 'If someone is sitting in front of me, I can feel that person much more intensely and arrive at a fascinating pose while talking. I find it even more interesting to portray people in their own environment, because their homes often reveal a lot about who they are,' Kurakina says.
Although she works with various techniques and materials, Kurakina's preference is for watercolour on paper. 'I love the directness of watercolour. Every painterly gesture is definitive, and therefore surprising. Moreover, watercolour allows you to leave a large part of the background white, so the image dialogues with the background and, thanks to its transparency, acquires a certain lightness. Although I sometimes dare to apply a few strokes of oil paint, as a solid counterbalance to the soft watercolours.'
'Like Henri Matisse and Italian Renaissance painters like Giotto, I experiment with the vibrant power of colours, trying to leave academic knowledge behind. Like Egon Schiele, I play with framing, making my characters seem to want to escape from their frame. Each new work arises instinctively, and is also a discovery for me every time. If other people experience the same emotions afterwards, that is pure magic.'
Anastasia Kurakina s'portraits that excite the observer.
The soul of Anastasia Kurakina has always been nourished by the sacred fire of art, so much so that even before starting to walk she was surrounded by art in all its forms. The artist recalls that at an early age she loved to spend hours and hours leafing through art books of the Italian Renaissance, contemplating the beauty and mastery of the cornerstones of art history. Kurakina since the age of three has always known that she would become a painter and, from that moment on, that great passion has always been well rooted and present in her state of mind. In her works we can find many memories of the great masters of contemporary art including Modigliani, Morandi, Bacon, Hockney, Van Gogh, Klimt, Schiele… , proof of her commendable craftsmanship and progressive stylistic evolution. Each work of Kurakina has a history and its development in which she is not only the creator but she participates in the creative process of which result she is quite unaware,and Anastasia loves to continually surprise herself with her own creations.

The portraits of Anastasia Kurakina are not descriptions of the physiognomies in a realistic sense but capture the essence of the subject, in a nutshell they are a snapshot of the soul. In addition, she as an artist is able to capture in a few gestures the moment in which the subject fully reveals his soul, his most intimate and authentic being. The charm of Kurakina“s works lies in her mature introspective talent, which allows her to bring the most intimate qualities of the person to expression, transforming each portrait into an inner mirror. She manages to enhance what she encounters and to embody everything that is charged in a gaze, giving strength to the gestural sign and color. 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. Each subject is placed in a thoughtful, detached atmosphere but at the same time not devoid of emotional participation. Kurakina’s language is characterized by freedom of the sign, soft chromatism and rapidity of representation. She is an artist recognized above all for her ability to translate emotional expressions, inner disturbances in order to reveal the psyche of the represented subjects. Anastasia Kurakina does not portray reality but it is the reality itself to become a representation of the inner world of all of us, in a portentous whole.
