Anastasia Borodina 

I am a contemporary artist studying the transformation of traditional symbols of European culture

in modern society through classical fine art techniques and mediums. My subject of interest is

always a person and their search for certain points of support in the form of rituals, signs, and

visual forms adapting and confronting rapid changes in human society. I believe childhood is one

of the key periods – when all patterns form, touching the base of our self-identity. I found many

clues in the subconscious world of a young person’s feelings and dreams.

For my paintings, I deliberately select iconographic language as it is the only means I know

powerful enough to communicate on such delicate and deeply hidden matters. I never just portray

children but rather aspire to deliver in an indivisible artistic space all integrity and separation of

the hidden internal world with the environment where a pure young person is located.

If successful, it makes the power of art explicit giving the viewer a unique opportunity to enter

and relive their own childhood experience, contemplate or have a new intimacy of interaction with

the magnificent world of children. Ultimately, it provides me and my viewers space for

development and suggests new symbolic keys allowing better communication with a frightened but

so exciting contemporary world streaming around us.
