Anastasia R. Simes creates compelling narrative paintings that capture our attention and hold us in rapture. Her bold, brightly colored images of animated figures emanate intense expression and reveal the breadth and depth of the human drama.

Anastasia is a skillful painter who has developed her own artistic vocabulary with laser focused intention. She selects every form, line, shape, and color for its symbolic significance. In beautifully orchestrated compositions she deftly infuses elements of magic realism and juxtaposes Biblical references with mythology and allegory. As a result, she achieves a unique story-telling process that speaks directly and metamorphically to our hearts and minds.

Viewing her transcendent images may arouse unfulfilled desires and memories or illuminate issues that demand our introspection. We are led to discover new profound realms of meaning and insight.

Anastasia’s deeply felt works of art remind us to pause and view our existence with a perspective that transcends logic and physical boundaries. In doing so, we are inspired to defy limitations, transform, and evolve.
