Anastasia Khain was born in Russia, 1990 in a family of Pontic Greek artists. Growing up surrounded by art history books, she started to draw at the age of two. In 2005, Anastasia graduated summa cum laude from School of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg. From 2010 to 2018, she travelled through Finland, Estonia, Belgium, France, Poland, and Austria and lived in Germany, Spain, Italy, and Portugal, whose cultural heritage influenced Anastasia’s development as an artist.
Member of the art society Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc (Artistic Circle of Saint Luke) (and Reial Cercle Artístic (Royal Artistic Circle) in the past).
My artistic research explores human and natural beauty. Paying tribute to classical canons, I am inspired by contemporary reality, which I represent through my paintings and drawings. This exploration often leads to fragmented and non-traditional compositional solutions. I am constantly rethinking what ‘beauty’ means today, with a particular focus on the female form and modern style. At times, I isolate a single element—such as light or a specific sensation—subordinating the entire process of creation to this impressionistic goal.
