Anastasia Yanchuk (Nati)

ABOUT ANASTASIA YANCHUK (NATI)…

Anastasia Yanchuk (artist name Nati) was born in Moscow (USSR/Russia) on July 4, 1986. She has always had a passion for Art. The interest for painting was cultivated during childhood, school years and improved during 2-years practical courses of drawing and painting at the Russian State University (RGGU). Then Anastasia graduated in Interior Design and Architecture (2003-2009) in the International Academy of Business and Management in Moscow. After completing studies she has moved to Italy. It was a new chapter in her life: new country, new work, new people and also 5-year interval in artist’s career. 
After these years Anastasia returned to an idea of becoming a painter. She has chosen an artist name Nati and resumed painted classes. Further experience gained on various trips around the world, always with her careful and inquiring spirit, allowed her to learn numerous expressive techniques - from ceramic painting to watercolor, acrylic to mandala art, zentangle and doodle art -through which the subjects become the pivot through which the concept of beauty is conveyed by Anastasia in its essence and under multiple and original interpretative components. Her technical improvement, pursued under the mentorship of Barbara Fantaguzzi (italian painter), has made it possible for Anastasia to take her own personal style to a higher level by fluently combining the world of colors with their innate cosmopolitan caliber.. After developing artistic skills Anastasia has made a decision to pursue a career as a professional artist (from 2020). Nati has participated in Art Fairs and Exhibitions in Italy, Monte Carlo, Dubai (UAE), New York (USA). Her artworks are represented by Tablinum Cultural Management (Bellagio, Italy).  Anastasia currently lives and works in Alba (Italy). 

STATEMENT:
My name is Anastasia Yanchuk. I’m working under a pseudonym/artist name Nati. I am a figurative artist (based in Italy). I find inspiration from music, traveling, traditions and cultures and i try to express it through my art. The principal theme in my art is femininity and image of women varying across different cultures and ethnic identities. So the goal is to focus attention on differences, particularities and also on imperfections to emphasize a unique aspect of the beauty of each woman. My aim is to create artworks that influence, inspire and motivate women encouraging them to be stronger. 

I’m working mainly in acrylic colors on linen. I love using gold and silver leaf sheets, Swarovski Crystals. These materials allow me to express my ideas, a concept of beauty and aesthetics! 

Art is a way to add a touch of beauty in our life!
