Biography

Nastya Prairie is a contemporary figurative artist based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Her practice is rooted in classical academic training and focused on psychological portraiture that explores inner tension, emotional depth, and the fragile boundary between appearance and inner truth.

She completed a 17-month academic program in painting and drawing under the guidance of instructors trained at the Ilya Repin Academy of Arts. This education formed a strong figurative foundation and a deep sensitivity to gesture, light, and emotional nuance. Nastya also holds a degree in Graphic Design from the Polytechnic University in Saint Petersburg, which contributes to her compositional clarity and visual precision.

In 2022, she participated in Saint Petersburg Art Week, where she received two awards: first place in the “Folklore Motifs" category for and second place in the “Esoterica" category for . That same year, her work was presented at the exhibition at the New Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
