Anastasiya Malyghina is of the idea that art speaks for itself. Her art is a flow of unconsciousness which becomes a sign, forming a unique image system. She achieves that due to the intuitive, fast drawing technique that originates in Pablo Picasso's art. Since 2019 Anastasiya has been actively involved in exhibitions in Italy and London. Anastasiya's artworks are held in Russian and foreign private collections.
Betty Mariani's inspiration comes from the punk culture of the 70s, cinema, literature, pop art, and street art. Through this staging process, the artist questions our relationship to the image, to notions of intimacy and identity, in a world where digital information and social networks reign supreme. Thus Betty Mariani's paintings easily reflect the spirit of our time, which she finds fragmented and connected, dispersed but rallied.
