at the Royal Society of British Artists at the Bicentennial Exhibition 2023 at the Mall Galleries in London,

London Biennale 2023 in London, Chelsea Old Town Hall in 2023.
She was one of the best 50 portrait artist in the world selected for the BP Portrait Award exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery London in 2017.
Her drawings are included at the Vatican Museum collection of contemporary art.
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.
