"“And you are you?”" Painting

Anna Yakusheva is a Ukrainian-born artist-researcher based in the UK. With an academic background in fine arts, she combines the precision of classical training with the courage to experiment. In her personal technique, “Quantum Collage” — a fusion of watercolour, magazine fragments, handwritten texts and universal symbols — she creates spaces for reflection and self-discovery. Her works explore psycho-emotional states, identity and the search for meaning within human experience. While rooted in her personal journey, they open a universal dialogue: each viewer finds their own story mirrored in the layers of image and symbol. Autobiographical yet archetypal, her practice blends mystical and conceptual dimensions into visual metaphors. Each artwork, like each human life, can be contemplated endlessly — never repeating itself, always revealing something new. “I create to awaken meaning. To touch what cannot be said, but can be felt. To return — to myself and to the source.” — AY
