Hello, my name is Anastasia Druzhinina.
She started drawing as a child. As a student of the Moscow State Pedagogical University, faculty of painting and graphics, I started working at an art school with an artist-painter. Creative activity began in 2009, when I began to regularly go to plein air and create paintings in the studio. Since 2012, I have been participating in exhibitions of the Moscow Union of Artists.
Now I am actively engaged in painting, I am a member of the Union of Artists of Russia (MOSH). I collaborate with designers and architects, create paintings for interiors.
In my painting, I like to combine classical techniques of academic painting and modern novelties. For me, painting is, first of all, the process of creativity, the process of work, sometimes very complex, contradictory, energy-consuming, but giving great pleasure. I can't imagine my life without painting. Painting for me is a kind of way of knowing the world.
In my work, I distinguish several lines: landscape painting, abstract, still life and portrait.
In landscape painting, the main focus is beauty, harmony, the interaction of the urban environment with man and open natural landscapes. Understanding nature through the brevity of our life. Our dependence on the environment. eternity of nature. The immutability of the universe. In my painting, I produce self-knowledge through nature, solitude, contemplation and faith.
In still life, I strive to capture the moment here and now, whether it be at home, in a cafe, or just a bouquet of flowers.
In abstract painting, I am concerned about color and its impact on a person, I strive to convey certain emotions with the help of color. My abstractions are always born from traveling to different countries and cities, they are like the quintessence of my impressions.
A portrait for me is something very personal and deep, they are always painted "in one breath"
