Anastasia Sabatie

A professional observer. A researcher. Philosopher. Practitioner. A self-taught artist.

I was born in the USSR. Since I was very young, I have observed the changes of era, of regime, when nothing is clear, when we do not know what will happen tomorrow, when there is no stability and that it is difficult to plan anything. I learned to be flexible, to adapt to a changing world. My creeds were reflection, immersion, observation of people, of their manifestations. Observation and analysis of the world, of the self in the world and of the world in itself. All the professions I learned were in one way or another related to human life and creativity. I wanted to improve both the person and the space in which one would like to become a better person, to grow, to develop, to harmonize externally and internally. I have worked in interior design, event decoration, floristry, I have drawn in watercolor, digital graphics.

Project "Black and White. Mountains."

This is the first individual project born from a reflection on the duality of our world. It is an attempt to show on the canvas a balance in the unity of opposites. Using only two colors, black and white, and working in shades of gray, I seek harmony between shadow and light on the canvas, restoring the relationship of my own shadow and light. Passing the instrument through the canvas, I feel the monumental nature of the mountains, the timeless reality and truth, the timelessness and immortality of stone, the purity and fragility of snow, the irreversibility of transformation ice. The pattern of cracks, transitions, the smoothness of the stone due to the interaction with the wind. This astonishing spelling and harmony. I become a witness and a participant in the mystery of understanding this power.

Black and white. Stone and snow. Yang and yin. Movement and stillness. The balance of nature, like our differences, goes through a process of growth and transition to a new quality.

My art is an attempt to explore these shifts and capture the Here and Now moment. I invite you to explore this with me and capture your feeling.
