Sailboats at sunset, watercolor Painting

Hello! My name is Anastasia Suslova, and I'm an artist from Almaty. In my works, I strive to convey tranquility and the meditative essence of the moment, drawing inspiration from the concept of Slow Life, which is dear to my heart. This concept encourages modern individuals to slow down the pace of life, savor the present moment, and pay more attention to what truly matters. Whether my art takes the form of portraits or landscapes, my primary goal is to infuse each piece with an atmosphere of serenity, devoid of aggressive colors and shapes. The main technique I use is watercolor. It's a soft and malleable medium that allows me to capture the ethereal and light qualities of what I see and feel. However, before I begin the creative process, I engage in meditation to slow down and detach from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. This practice helps me focus and inspires me to create artwork that can help people find moments of peace and inner harmony. I graduated from the Almaty Art School named after O. Tansykbaev with honors in 2004, and today, I am fully committed to my professional development. I find inner stability in the artistic process, dedicating my mind and heart to it. My primary desire is to contribute to our fast-paced world by allowing people to break away from the rush of days and truly savor each moment, experiencing its full richness. I believe that art has the power to transform and inspire, and my works are aimed at inviting viewers on an inner journey to find peace and harmony within their own lives.
