My name is Anna Bernadskaya. I was born in 1996 in the Kamchatka Peninsula of the Russian Far East. During my school years, I attended an art school and dreamed of moving to Russia's cultural capital, Saint Petersburg.
At the age of 17, I was accepted into a university in Saint Petersburg to study graphic design, and this was my first major step into the world of art. I realized that I couldn't imagine my life without creativity.

Biography
ABOUT ARTIST
After graduating from university in 2018, I worked as a freelance designer for a short time. However, I eventually realized that I wanted to create art by hand and paint with oils, as I derive immense pleasure from the magic of the process.
I spent many summers of my childhood in Crimea. One of my vivid memories is a sunlit studio overlooking a fruit orchard, belonging to my artist relative. I remember admiring his colorful paintings and the aroma of oil and mixtures that filled the creative space.
For me, oil painting has always embodied a certain magic that captivated me from childhood.
About my art
For the most part, my works are figurative and focused on solitary figures. I prefer such works because of the emotional impact that can be conveyed through the human face and body.
In my paintings, I combine elements of design and painting into a unified whole on the canvas. I also enjoy using various techniques in a single painting, which gives them a special uniqueness.
Studying graphic design at university laid the foundation for my thinking and understanding of art. Design significantly influenced my development as an artist and my perception of art through the prism of simple forms and color combinations. I have always had a special passion for working with color, searching for perfect color combinations. Color is a powerful tool in art, affecting the perception of an object. Through color in my paintings, I convey specific emotions, feelings, and states.
In painting, I have always been inspired by the diversity of artistic styles and the multitude of techniques used by artists. I am gradually creating my own unique style, absorbing techniques from various masters. In my paintings, I combine the techniques of the old masters with the modern school of painting. My works often feature meticulously detailed faces contrasted with boldly rendered brushstrokes of the background.
To this day, I can spend hours selecting the perfect color combinations for my future works and derive genuine pleasure from this process.
