Anastasia Buoy is a mixed media painter of abstract expressionism.

She has a scientific past (Ph.D. in molecular biology). In 2018 Anastasia changed her job for art; since then, she works in her Moscow-based studio. In a similar vein with her previous field, biomedicine, Anastasia researches human-nature interaction, but from a perspective of emotional, even mystical experience.

Anastasia is an entirely self-taught artist. However, she intensively studies the history of art. Currently, she is a student at The School of Contemporary Art Free Workshops (at MMOMA).

By now, Anastasia has participated in several exhibitions in Russia and the United States; in 2021, she will participate in international events. Her artworks could be found in private collections worldwide and represented by galleries in Berlin, Miami, and Moscow.

Artist statement

In my practice, I use abstract expressionism style as a symbol of deep, subconscious perception of the world with structured geometric lines that represent a reversion to rational thinking. I do not limit instrumentation, using oil, acrylic, industrial marker, and even construction supplies with equal ease.

My works are notable for the process-oriented approach. Each piece represents a major reflection on a specific theme; it doesn’t hide or mask anything. The creation process is transparent: whether it was long and complicated, or easy and neat; thoughtful and meditative or expressive and bold.

Due to my past in biology, I do not acknowledge that humans and nature are antagonizing matters. I feel exactly the opposite: how humanity plays with resources; how it changes the landscape and climate; how it grows and evolves – that’s incredibly natural and has happened countless times before. In my works, I intend to show that all our technologies are the same full-fledged part of nature as sea or sky, and that’s why this theme can also be researched by painting on canvas.
