Anastasia Aureum

Aureum is an internationally renowned visual artist with the background in fine art and interior design. Antique and vintage furniture, contemporary and modern art and accessories inspire her.

Anastasia's creations are characterized by a wide range of styles. Surrealism, realism and abstraction are merged in a passionate art dance. Embracing, discovering and penetrating each other, they take on new forms and shades in every new painting. The artist reflects on the relationship between space and forms, where colour is an emotional response to the way they intersect.

Aureum's works are a personal interiorization that matches the search for a deeper meaning, beyond visible reality. Her’s is a desire to go further on then the pure representation of reality, a need to tell something that goes behind the external aspect, something that speaks of subject’s inner nature.
