She forgoes sketches and preliminary drawings, working directly on the canvas. Her paintings are a fusion of photography, graphics, and digital art, with elements of classical drawing. The central theme of Aleksandra's work is "The Human in the Digital Age." She often uses a technique of capturing elusive, blurred frames, where the human figure becomes secondary, blending into the surrounding space.

Anastasia, a professional graphic designer, has found her true calling in portrait painting. "I capture shapes and forms, color spots and lines.

She always starts with black, covering the entire canvas before applying her preferred color palette. This method is driven by both psychological and technical reasons. On a black underpainting, colors appear richer, giving the image contour and structure. From this black void and her subconscious, Anastasia carves out captivating and honest images like a sculptor.
