Megapolis Painting

I am Anastasia Antia, an artist based in Cascais, Lisbon, was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in 1991. Portugal's enchanting landscapes, rich history and vibrant culture have deeply influenced my artistic expression. In my practice, I am an explorer of emotions, a weaver of history, and a storyteller of the intricate tapestry of life. I constantly push the boundaries of style and technique to capture the full spectrum of feelings and sentiments that permeate our existence. The silhouettes and shapes in my paintings are reflections of the deep thoughts and emotions that each of us carries within ourselves. They reflect the incessant dialogue of life, the struggles, the joys, and the interplay of happiness and pain.

They reflect the incessant dialogue of life, the struggles, the joys, and the interplay of happiness and pain. My artworks are deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of national history, but are intrinsically intertwined with my personal existential experiences. Together, they create a new language of symbols and meanings, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate relationship between past and present. I invite you to join me on this profound journey through painting. Every brushstroke, every hue, and every texture speak of the universal human experience, a testament to the enduring dialogue that reverberates within each of us. My art is a mirror to the soul, an exploration of the complexity of life, and a celebration of the limitless possibilities that arise when story and emotion converge on canvas.
