ANASTASIA SAVINOVA (RU)
Anastasia Savinova explores the tension between the logical and the spiritual through the representation of artificial and natural spaces, and the human presence within them. Her works include a diverse range of media, such as drawing, photography, collages and performances.
This term in ancient Rome was used to refer to the protective spirit that they believed guarded every place. Her artworks thus combine corporeal and incorporeal elements, balancing between documentary and fiction, which is effectively expressed by using collage as a medium. The resulting architectural structures become the magical homes of the essence of the spirit of the place.

The tension between logic and spirituality is also expressed in Savinova’s drawings from her ‘Geometry of Organic’ series. In these artworks, Savinova reflects on the multifaceted essence of life, expressed both by geometric and organic forms. She approaches geometry as a binding presence shared by molecules, as well as by immense entities such as the universe.
Savinova creates mixed-media images where human anatomy seems to emerge from a technical drawing. As the viewer doesn’t understand the logical steps necessary to construct such drawings, their geometry evokes the mystical. In fact, this series explores how geometry recalls both the rational and the spiritual as an expression of the sacred. In many cultures, geometry and its mathematical perfection are used to visually represent the divine.
Savinova’s portfolio includes paintings as well. She is a multifaceted artist who continues evolving and experimenting with various media.
