ANASTASIYA PONYATOVSKAYA

Ms. Ponyatovskaya had attended the Russian Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg Russia for 4 years, then attended the Academy of Arts in the Republic of Moldova for 5 years, which she accomplished many facets of art techniques. Since becoming a member of the Moldova Union of Artists in 2004, she has become widely revered for her unique style and imagination.

In an effort to expose her many talents, she participated in many art exhibitions including: Moldova, Russia, Germany, Latvia, Malta, Gozo and Italy. To further her experiences she relocated to Malta/Gozo, where she now continues her work and studies. Having seen the rich culture of the islands, she finds Gozo very inspiring, and her works can be seen in various businesses around Gozo.

Ms. Ponyatovskaya has strong desires to work in the interior design/decoration, including the different media: Oil & Watercolor Painting, Batik, Bas-reliefs on wall, Wall covering, Icons, stained glass objects and sculptures. In her art she wishes to rethink heritage & old traditions, and bring new inspiration.

Anastasia Poneatovscaia present new original art works in postmodernism naive & fantasy /fairy tales/ styles.
Naive art; like primordial (earliest), original traditional art in Batik & Painting give me a lot of inspiration for new vision. There are 5 types of Batik, which came to Europe from ancient Indonesia. It can be: cold Batik, hot Batik, or mixed, tie-dye, free-style. This is hand painting done on natural Silk or Cotton.

Among the interior and exterior Bas-reliefs on walls, she enjoys showing Egyptian and Mayan style images of the 3,000 B.C. era in a more imaginative way.

During her design of Icons she enjoys using 15th century egg tempera technology on antiquated wood. With this knowledge she has the ability to restore Icons for her clients.
