Anastasia Kurakina is an internationally renowned visual artist who has already had over ten years of experience, having inaugurated her first exhibition in 2005 in her hometown, Moscow. 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.
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"
Each portrait starts with the eyes and a few rough, black outlines. These define the image, which then gradually emerges naturally. 'It's like walking in the mist, and the image gradually becomes clearer and clearer. The fact that I myself don't know exactly what will happen makes it fascinating. I only see myself as a participant in a creative process. The colours also arise intuitively and are dictated by the state of mind of the person I am portraying. I pay attention to the smallest details and emotional reactions, and try to translate them into an individual portrait,' Kurakina says.
'Thanks to this psychological analysis, my paintings show emotions that people never experience in the mirror or through a photograph. What they try to hide, I deepen and make visible. I try to penetrate to the essence of their being. Although that scares some people, there is no need for it. Because as Picasso said: in the end, every artist portrays himself first and foremost.'
'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.'
