Anna Berezovskaya
Anna Berezovskaya takes viewers on a quirky voyage across time and space, through dream and reality into secretive and surreal worlds. Her art speaks to the youthful spirit of a new generation of emerging artists.
While most young artists struggle for years to gain their unique artistic voice through which to express their concerns, the young Russian painter Anna Berezovskaya has already established hers. It is a narrative voice that is exhilarating, bold, colourful, and richly textured as well as deeply personal and timeless. To enter Berezovskaya's world is to be embraced by a series of narratives that even Salvador Dali and Lewis Carroll would find invigorating.
Born on August 21, 1986, at Yakhroma, a small town 55 kilometers north of Moscow. While studying at art school, Berezovskaya took private lessons, although she says that she began "painting only became a passion at 14." Before ths time she was "just dreaming of being an artist but from 14 I began seriously studying."
However playful, fantastic, obsessive, and sentimental Berezovskaya's works may appear to the viewer, there is nothing immature about her vision of the world....There is an abundance of symbolism and metaphor that is refreshingly informed by the spirit and energy of youth. Beyond the panoply of merry actions of the commoner and royalty, peasant and knight, lover and voyeur, Berezovskaya addresses not only love and sexuality but also the quirkiness of human relationships, nature, and humor as well as something of sadness and pain. "Yes, some pictures are with humor. I like people with a sense of humor. But with my pictures I try to interpret all spectrums of human feeling-melancholy, happiness, humor."
In 2011 REDSEAGallery hosted Anna Berezovskaya's first solo exhibition in Asia, 'A Russian Romance', and following it's tremendous success are planning her next solo which is already attracting buyers and collectors from around the world.
