Le Femme Nuage | Anastasia Painting

Through reimagined cloud optics, the Artist equates womankind to celestial entities. Moving beyond the traditional focus on the female facade, historically perfected by other painters, Yuliya illuminates their abstract and intrinsic qualities. In fast paced manner and broad brush, she portrays women as shape-shifters, mirroring clouds that adapt their forms to the rhythm of the wind. This reflects the graceful resilience women rely on to navigate life's challenges while remaining true to their essence. Their mysterious and multilayered nature is captured in the interplay of misty veils and dense cumulus, symbolizing their depth, complexity, and the hidden truths that define them. Finally, through the life-giving qualities of rainclouds, Yuliya reflects on her own personal stories into the exhibition to remind us of women's unparalleled ability to nurture, replenish, and sustain life *Le Femme Nuage will be shown during my solo show with Rivers & Rowing Museum in Henley on Thames Dec 2024-Feb 2025 ** After spending 15 years in the corporate world, she one day gave up the office in favor of becoming a full time artist.
