About Anastasia Borodina

 
 
  • Biography

    Anastasia Borodina is a contemporary artist who works in traditional techniques and mediums studying the transformation of traditional symbols of European culture in modern society. Her area of interest is a person and how they communicate with the contemporary world surrounding them, finding for themselves certain points of support in the form of rituals, signs, and visual forms in the course of changes in human society. How they can resonate with those ritual or mythological forms that were understandable and familiar to people of past ages. In her research, Anastasia does not limit herself to one figurative language, selecting the most appropriate way of expressing each object using traditional fine art media.

    Growing up in the North Caucasus and graduating with honours from the Ilya Repin’s Academy of Arts in Saint-Petersburg, she was inspired by the history and culture of the people from Western Asia. In the academy, Anastasia learned from the best representatives of the Russian classical school of painting in the workshop of renowned artist Yuri Kalyuta. Currently, she is living and working in Manchester, developing her oriental series of works and, in parallel, working on adapting the language of the classical school of painting to the modern artistic perception of objects surrounding us. In 2024 elected as an associate member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts (AMAFA).
