"Pink Flowers II" Print

Statement: “I feel my mission is to create art works from inner silence.” - Anastassia Skopp Born in Russia, Anastassia Skopp was raised by her Mom in the city of Saransk where she studied art for 7 years (1985-1992) at the Mordovian Art College named after P.F. Ryabov for children and young people. There she learned about drawing, composition, art of painting and sculpturing from well-known artists and painters (including P.F. Ryabov). Welcome to Anastassia's world of floral paintings, where art and spirituality converge to create a unique and transformative experience. As an artist, she has devoted years to studying spiritual books by Eckhart Tolle, and her art is a reflection of this profound exploration. According to Tolle, flowers serve as messengers from another world, bridging the divide between the physical and the formless. They emit a subtle fragrance that not only pleases the senses but also carries an aroma from the spiritual realm. Anastassia's paintings extend an invitation to immerse oneself in this realm of meditative floral enchantment, where impasto colors and textures intertwine to foster a sense of tranquility and serenity. Her technique draws inspiration from abstract expressionism and modern art, employing a distinctive combination of mixed media that includes undiluted acrylic paint, ink, gel medium, and structure paste. Through these mediums, she crafts three-dimensional flowers and surfaces. She particularly delights in creating impasto abstract pieces, utilizing spatulas, tubes, and fruit knives to achieve a tactile and textured effect. Anastassia's mission is to create art that emanates from inner silence, transmitting this state of being to the viewer. Each painting becomes an oasis of focus and tranquility amidst the tumultuousness of everyday life, offering a moment of stillness and serving as a reminder of the beauty and interconnectedness of all things. Her works have been collected by individuals and art enthusiasts worldwide, spanning from Japan to the USA and Canada.
