Freshness (2024)Watercolour
by Anastasia Bas

My work strives to capture the contemplative and dreamy states of young women, focusing on those fleeting moments of inner decisions and thoughts. Watercolor, with its lightness and fluidity, perfectly aligns with the ethereal nature of my subjects, allowing me to convey complex emotional narratives through soft washes and sharp contrasts.

Botanical elements are a recurring motif in my work, symbolizing beauty and tenderness, attributes culturally intertwined with the feminine experience. Flowers serve as a visual metaphor for inner beauty and strength, while minimalist backgrounds draw the viewer’s attention to the subject and evoke a sense of calm and contemplation. Nature plays a pivotal role in my creative process, providing a sanctuary for reflection and tranquility. Through my art, I strive to create a visual space where beauty, introspection, and nature coexist, inviting viewers to connect with the inner worlds of the women I depict.
