Nadezhda Anfalova

Born in Leningrad in 1976, Nadezhda graduated from the School of Graphic Arts of the Repin Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in St. Petersburg.

Anfalova is a prolific and versatile artist who works not only in different media and art forms, but on different levels of approaching the creative process. Formal academic training shaped her professional skills and craftsmanship, including printmaking mastery that makes her a regular participant in various graphic arts biennials and triennials. In her painting practice, Anfalova remains a figurative artist, nevertheless usually abstracting herself from excessive specific detailing in favour of understatement. One of her favourite genres is the cityscape. Enhancing the visual library of postcard-ready views, Nadezhda brings her very own decorative dimension to the subject matter.
