 Anastasia Mak was born in the Ukraine and moved to the US at the age of 14. Later she lived in Italy and then settled in Chicago. Anastasia’s international experiences provided her with early appreciation for cultural diversity; now she constantly strives to expand her knowledge of the world through travel.
Her past explorations, various forms of art, as well as curiosity about unfamiliar places influence her work. Mixing natural and surreal elements with distinguishable architecture and landscapes, Anastasia developed her own genre – “Organic Contemporary”. Her paintings are saturated with color and texture, and appear to be breathing. The main subject matter of Anastasia’s works is world destinations – canals of Venice and Amsterdam, peaks of Barcelona, reds of Moscow – painted in a dream-like manner.
Anastasia Mak has a broad group of collectors, ranging from corporate executives to college students. “To me, making art is both challenging and entertaining,” says she. “I enjoy passing great pleasure I feel from creating paintings to those who acquire them. My work exists to fulfill souls and relieve stress. While the actual process of painting is driven by my experiences and imagination, I let the audience find their own life force in my work – be it happy, nostalgic, mysterious, or purely decorative.”
