anna razumovskaya
Russia
Anna’s work is both classical and modern, her romantic figurative works carry with them both tradition and originality. Her work captures the elegance and grace of the female form with both an air of simplicity and sophistication.
While Anna’s enchanting figures have an aura reminiscent of the Renaissance, and you can place them alongside old masters like Reubens and Rembrandt and draw similarities, the dynamic technique with which she paints, and the expressive freedom and sensuality of her work, creates something refreshingly modern, unique and beautiful.
Anna draws on her experiences and her joy and passion for life. Anna does not paint her models as such, her models provide the form, but her muse is life itself and the joy of living. There is a dreamlike quality in her work, her subjects are both present in the room with us but also lost in the moment, they are free.
Anna is a graduate of the Russian State Academy Of Fine Arts (Rostov-on-Don) M.F.A., where she got the distinction award of high-class artists in 1991. Subsequently, she studied art in Germany, Belgium, and Holland. With solo exhibitions in New York, Paris, Toronto, Amsterdam, Antwerp and Berlin and numerous works in private collections across the globe, she has become one of the most exciting and collectible artists on the contemporary scene.
There is a freshness in Anna’s work, it is emotional, it is passionate, it is strong and vibrant but also soft and quiet. Anna’s genius can be seen in the way she captures the essence of femininity on canvas. She seamlessly combines her experiences, her personality, her very self with materials creating something entrancing, and completely unique. It is no wonder that she is an internationally renowned artist.
