ANASTASIIA ANANIEVA
Artist and Illustrator
I am Anastasiia Ananieva, a Ukrainian artist born and raised in Zaporizhia but now based in Hobart - Tasmania. From my early years, I started to explore drawing. However, like most kids who love art, the preconceptions from this society pushed me to put my passion for art in a box and look for a real profession. I studied accounting, got a Master's Degree in Accounting and Audit, and started a typical job. However, I wasn't happy, so when I turned 25 years made the difficult decision to leave my "real profession" and start my adventure in the artistic world. It was terrifying, but I was fortunate because I had the opportunity of meeting one of the finest Ukrainian artists who started to be my mentor. After years of this decision and many situations that have changed my life, I am in Australia, escaping from the war and starting a new life far from my family and friends.
My dream is to touch with my art many people and grow as an artist. In my work, nature is an essential source of inspiration. I try to translate quotidian situations into my canvas, using imagination and mixed techniques.
Thank you for visiting my website, and hope you find my work interesting.
