"History is written with blood, sweat and tears, perhaps it's etched into eternity by the quiet endurance of courageous people"
Ryan Holiday
Degas was not the only one to portray the ballet, but something has changed in it, hasn't it? The order to have fun cannot look otherwise.
Public holidays, festivities, concerts - all this can only happen in a free and democratic state, when visiting them is the freely expressed will of a citizen. However, more and more often one can observe a different picture - a mandatory, undeniable presence at these events. Deprivation of bonuses, reprimand, fine - this is a small fraction of what can happen to those who violate the unwritten law and refuse to attend the event organized by the state.
The work "Courage" is about a man who was not afraid to look different. He is immersed in himself, and although his hands are chained, the time will come when he will spread his wings.
Nothing is lost as long as courage remains.

Olga Anashkina Portrait

Olga Anashkina was born in 1987, in Russia. She graduated from the State University of Management in Moscow with a degree in Advertising.

However at the age of 23 Olga changes both her residence and career path for good.  Since she has moved to another country, it is challenging to get settled at first into the unknown environment. So, in the attempt to curb anxiety she turns her eye to pottery. The artist tests the waters with small decorations and gradually masters paintings and sculptures.

The creative debut is attributed to human rights and freedom infringements. It is the foundation of the “Escape” series of works. The main characters here are not running physically, they break free out of the passive order imposed from above. This series were  shown at the main cultural venues in Belarus and Russia, such as the National Center for Contemporary Art and the New Tretyakov Gallery.

Olga has been highly appreciated in St. Petersburg, at the contemporary art week with a first place result, as well as at the Autumn Salon in Minsk, where she has won in the "Project and Installation" nomination.

As creating strong plot-thematic works is the main focus, the artist often resorts to the image of a child to enhance viewer’s emotions. By placing the character either in a tea mug, as in the “Poor Greta” sculpture, or in a cage, just as Joseph Cornell used to set his characters in boxes, the theme of freedom and personal boundaries is revealed.

Now Olga Anashkina lives and works in Minsk. Her works are acquired in private collections in Europe and Russia. She regularly holds exhibitions. The next one is planned in Moscow.

The works of Olga Anashkina narrate about us, our choices, and the society we exist in. It makes us think about the internal crossroads we all face at times.
