Anastasia Mamoshina, also known as Nastia Youkki, is a Russian artist based in Valencia, Spain. She is a watercolorist, urban sketcher, children's book illustrator, and art teacher. From 2017 to 2022, she led Urban Sketchers Saint Petersburg, and she continues to share her creative journey with a global audience of over 33,000 followers as an art blogger.

Her art tells warm and poetic stories set in sunlit seaside towns, where animals and architecture coexist in joyful harmony. Inspired by southern light and the magic of everyday life, she creates paintings that feel like cherished memories — familiar, heartfelt, and full of soul.

Working in both watercolor and acrylic, Anastasia blends softness and contrast to explore themes of belonging, wonder, and quiet joy. Her work invites viewers to pause and feel the warmth of a place, the presence of a furry friend, or the stillness of a golden hour. It is a visual language of kindness, simplicity, and emotional truth.

Beyond art, Anastasia is a cheerful soul with a sense of humor. She is a licensed skipper (yacht captain) and a polyglot, fluent in Russian, English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Her works are held in private collections around the world — from Canada and Sri Lanka to South Africa. In 2022, her sketch was featured in The World of Urban Sketching book.
