From 2009 to 2019, the artist lived and worked in Dubai (UAE), frequently travelling to various beautiful parts of the world. Until 2012, the artist worked mainly in the style of realism, using different techniques (watercolour, pastel, oil painting).

This style captures Anastasia's interest and she delves deeply into the language of symbols and their interpretation. As a result, her paintings are not only fine, yet captivating, combinations of colours and patterns, but also with profound, sacred meaning. Anastasia's exhibition activity also starts in the UAE. The artist takes part in group exhibitions in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other emirates, presents collections of her works at individual exhibitions. She successfully participates in international art weeks and becomes a winner at international art competitions in Russia and abroad. Since mid-2019, the artist lives in Montenegro, where she continues to work in her two favourite styles - realism and symbolism.
