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

Anastasia focuses on the metaphorical essence of human forms rather than specific features. In her portraits, gestures and overall body posture hold significant meaning.

    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.
