Creative philosophy

Anastasia's creative method is based on a strict foundation:

"I base my work on academic precision—it is the framework that holds everything together.
I was greatly influenced by Caravaggio with his dramatic chiaroscuro and dark background, like a frame for a living image, the Pre-Raphaelites with their meticulous attention to every detail, pure colors, and complex images, and no less significant for me is the Russian academic school with its ability to find the sublime in simple motifs.
