Anastasiya Parvanova

For Anastasiya Parvanova, painting is the medium that gives her access to a world of infinite possibilities. It is as if it allowed her to divide our world into other, parallel worlds, letting her travel and explore her imagination. It is a form of knowledge through which she can observe, clothe or even disguise her lived experience within the painting, in different configurations. It is therefore an exercise that does not separate experience and life from practice; a tool that allows her to interpret reality as a continuous alternation and transformation of thoughts and experiences, of energy and matter.

She often chooses to depict non-existent places, where events unfold latently, or objects that are typically invisible to human beings, glimpsed only in a hypnagogic state through perception, imagination or dreams. These representations transport us to a realm where silence reigns supreme: a meditative silence, like the stillness of space, the depths of a mountain or the underwater world. This vast, deep field of quiet sharpens our hearing, making every sound and noise the protagonist and inviting thoughts into a fluid, echoing flow.
