Anna Vishenskaya

Artistic Statement

I have created my own universe. It exists at the edge of things, between day and night, between fear and transformation.

I work intuitively, without fixed concepts. Images come as inner visions, and I follow them. Over the years I have developed my own technique through careful layering and experimentation. I paint primarily on wooden panels, combining a contemporary sensibility with processes inspired by medieval and religious painting. My work does not transmit doctrine. It seeks experience.

Within this universe, certain images return: spheres resembling eggs, bones, serpents, openings in the earth, hooded figures, predators and watchful eyes. They inhabit twilight landscapes that function as psychological spaces. Blood and oil appear as primordial substances, condensed life in its most concentrated form.

At the center of my work is the feminine as a primal force. It is both generative and destructive, holding birth and dissolution in the same space. I am not interested in darkness as aesthetic gesture, but in what it reveals and what it makes possible.

I intentionally create paintings to generate resonance, to alter the space and to confront the viewer directly. The work does not simply invite reflection. It demands it. I invite the viewer to face something within themselves that has remained unseen or unacknowledged.
