anya romanoff (b.2002)
is an emerging interdisciplinary artist based in saint petersburg. her primary mediums are oil paint and clay. anya's works are praised for their original technique and symbolism — anya accompanies a painting by sculpting a frame that enhances the narrative and poetic qualities of the work. her art conveys a dreamlike yet vivid dimension with a tender, intimate tone, combining surrealistic and figurative elements. the objects in her works are reflecting her philosophical and poetic mindset.
growing up in natural landscapes shaped her vision explaining the primordial connection to nature as an underlying principle. anya views art as a way to explore and expand the inner cosmos.
she holds a bachelor’s degree in romance linguistics but describes this time of her life as a challenging detour from her true path and life-long artistic goals. having practiced art all her life, she got formal education at a local art school & learned from her tutor. furthermore, she studied academic art at a well-known atelier in saint-petersburg.
