About the Item
Swimming is an original oil painting on canvas, realized in 2019 by the emerging artist, Anastasia Kurakina.
Signed and dated in black ink on the back.
This original painting represents a surreal scene in which a sub pushed by a finger is swimming with two cheetahs with a very fresh line and excellent plays of colors.
In excellent conditions.
ANASTASIA KURAKINA was born in 1987 in Moscow (Russia).
She studied in Moscow, in Rome and in Paris. At present, she lives and works in Rome. Her psychologically analytical works are a kind of art fables. A simple image or object from life transforms in a metaphora
of life itself in her paintings. Her portraits and graphic works are philosophical essence of visible and seeming reality.

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.

This oil on canvas painting represents the allegory of music - with a woman dressed in classical clothes and a putto- a very popular theme during all the neoclassical age, with its lively scene inspired by the Rococo period. The composition creates a awesome trompe-l'œil effect thanks to the color palette scheme.
