Volumetric panel with epoxy resin, gold leaf and texture pas (2024) Painting by Anastasiia Iurzinova

 My name is Anastasia Yurzinova, I was born in 1994, I live and work in Russia, Moscow region. I received a higher art education at the university (Faculty of Fine Arts and Folk Crafts, Department of Graphic Design). During my studies, in addition to mastering graphic programs on the computer, much attention was paid to manual work: sketches from life and academic knowledge of drawing, composition and color science, landscapes of Russian everyday life, creating sculptures, engravings.

An equally important stage in the formation of my artistic taste and style was the period of drawing illustrations in Photoshop and creating corporate styles for companies. I worked as an Art Director in a Moscow company, headed the design department, then led freelance projects.

I loved to draw on the asphalt since childhood, I painted all the album sheets and coloring books, took first places in competitions in kindergarten, school, then went to art school. Constant artistic activity in my life led me to the path of an artist. Later, I wanted to bring history into my works, and history, atmosphere into my works, and I gave preference to "living" art - painting. It can give freedom and amaze with luxury. My working method combines the approaches of an artist and a designer, almost every picture begins with a mood board and a sketch. On canvases I work with oil, a palette knife, a sponge, and I create three-dimensional panels or wall sculptures with building materials in various techniques.

 In my paintings, I depict different images that are not dedicated to one idea, but are familiar to every person. Through the prism of ancient images and traceless art - I reflect on how reasoning about deep themes of personality and cultural memory are resurrected in the thoughts of ordinary people and revive traditions. In other images, with the help of creativity, I set an inspiring impulse for rethinking the relationship "man - nature", "man - man". And volumetric panels in the style of minimalism help to be closer to nature and understand what happiness is measured in, what is the healing of the world and other global issues that everyone has ever thought about.

My works find their homes not only in Russia, but also in France, the USA, Hong Kong.
