Virtual Exhibition “Nature`s Wonderland: Seeing, Feeling, Being“
https://www.kefiartgallery.com/current-exhibition
Anastasia is exhibiting two of multilayer oil paintings “Path of Hope“ and “False Creek. Being Grateful“ at the virtual exhibition organized by Kefi Art Gallery.
Anastasia`s reflection on the exhibition theme:
"I usually start my work from nature doing my plein-airs outside in nature because direct experience is very important to my practice. For me, creating art means to be present in the moment. My mode of perception of this world is made through a direct experience of the immediate presence. My goal is coming back to the ultimate source, which is nature, and to ourselves.
In my works, I am often trying to transport the viewer to the better, sometimes idealized world. My oil paintings are incredibly optimistic and have a meditative quality to them. I believe that beauty and positivity help to educate our souls. Ugliness and chaos, on the other hand, destroy the spirit preventing us from growing and developing. The most important purpose of art, therefore, is not only to make people feel better, but also help them to become better versions of themselves."
Art Curator Liza Zhurkovskaya about the exhibition:
“Mother Nature is a magical muse! It has always been a source of inspiration for artists. “Nature’s Wonderland: Feeling, Seeing, Being” group exhibition aims to inspire the viewers to find beauty everywhere and invites them to explore how artists depict the magnificence of our planet. The show will include art and statements by selected artists. While examining the relationship between nature and art, we will also raise important questions of climate change, preservation of natural habitat, and how we, as city dwellers, can co-exist with nature in harmony. We all have a moment in life when we long for being close to nature. One way is to bring nature indoors in a form of original fine art!”
“Nature`s Wonderland: Seeing, Feeling, Being“ Virtual Exhibition is running for the whole month of April.
