Vinyl Jazz (2022) Painting by Anna Safonova

I was born in 1990 in Russia, the city of Astrakhan.
In 2012, I graduated from the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, Faculty of Restaurants and Hospitality and Tourism.

Since childhood, I was drawn to the visual arts, but I accepted this and started my creative path much later, after several years of work in the sphere of tourism and Internet marketing.

I love experimenting with new techniques, shapes and materials in my work. The style in which I most often work is abstraction. In my paintings, everyone can see something special and personal - a reflection of their view of the world, their life stories, the beauty of the moment.

I like to capture the essence and subtle elements of the natural world. In my process, I let the freedom of movement take shape - with soft curves, edges, and rhythmic brushstrokes. I create magical worlds with my paintings where my passion for life, music and nature is manifested.                                                                                                            

Striving to achieve a harmony of tones, my painting contains a pleasing balance between light and dark using vibrant colors. I think that painting is the best way to express my feelings and emotions.

I have engaged in extensive travel and through this global contact, I acquired a curiosity for culture and an interest in people and their origins.

Being engaged in art, I am always looking for new opportunities to express my understanding of the world around me in an artistic form.

My works are presented in private collections in Europe, Asia and Russia.

Statement

The creative process is comparable to meditation for me. My art is about the feelings and emotions that everyone holds deep inside. Let me bring you to my world full of bright colors and positive emotions.

My paintings are my reflections on the essence of a person, his boundless strength and weakness. Volumetric elements and bright colors help to revive feelings and emotions, reveal the story to the viewer.

The theme of the inner world of a person became the main one in my artworks after a serious car accident and a long period of recovery. This event changed my values, views and attitude to life.

I hope that you will find a response in my works, in each of which there is a piece of my soul.
