Depth (2022) Painting by Anastasia Sokolova

Anastasia Sokol (Anastasia Sokolova, born in 1991, Russia).

Since early childhood, she was fond of drawing. Already at the age of 10, she won the largest international art competition "I love learn." Anastasia received the title of “Young Artist of Russia" in 2001. Category from 9 to 12 years.

In 2015, Anastasia graduated from the Voronezh State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering with a degree in Architecture.

For me, Nature is the image of the world, and the feminine principle that gives life is the image of humanity. Nature and humanity are two parts of one single whole. We must understand that the human species Homo sapiens was created intelligent not to use its mind for the simplest satisfaction of its needs, but in order to help its planet, protect it and gratefully pay it for its benefits. This is the main message of my work.

My works of art are abstract landscapes, embodying the abundance and uniqueness of the diversity of images of nature created by evolution. What better depiction of the power of mountain ranges than relief lines created with texture paste? And how to depict a light ripple of water or a gloomy sky of an impending storm? A liquid mixture of acrylic and medium, which creates natural stains on the water surface of various colors and shades, will do it better than anyone else. In each case, I use 3 different directions: fluid art, abstraction and relief.

Femininity. Surely you have heard the expression: "mother nature"? Why do you think
the concept of nature is feminine? Because it is the concept of femininity that carries an
exceptionally positive and harmonious beginning that can satisfy any anxiety or
sadness. For example, a picture in the form of a few simple lines of a female silhouette
can envelop you with boundless tenderness and shades of charm and grace. And the
acrylic abstraction with clear lines of the composition, turning into silky gradient
transitions, depicts gentle austerity. If I use relief, then you will see clear, but smooth
lines, and the shades will always be light and light. In the artworks of this subject, I use
two main areas: relief and abstraction.

The destructive activity of man is irreversible, and one day it will be very painful to
realize that we will no longer be able to hide in the shade of lush trees, inhale a breath
of clean air or drink spring water. And I understand that I cannot stay away. My artworks will allow you to feel life here and now. It is enough to lift your eyes and look around you to understand. True beauty is near.
