ABOUT ANYA MYAGKIKH
Anya Myagkikh was born in Moscow, in Russia, in 1991. She graduated from the Chelsea College of Art and Design, at the University of the Arts, London, UK, in 2014. Her works have been displayed in CCB — Centro Cultural de Belém, in Lisbo; in Casa Batlló in Barcelona, in the Four Seasons of Lisbon, the Bulgari Hotel & Residences London and Katara Foundation in Qatar, together with several art galleries in London, New York, Tokyo, Miami and Moscow. The paintings, installations and sculptures of Anya are just like herself, built with remarkable taste and quality. As an artist, she constantly seeks the spirit and the soul of the images she sees and immediately fills with love and gratitude. “An important medium to my work is kitsch, which I use so that I bring out strong emotions in the viewer. I like kitsch aesthetics with its bright colours, its over-doneness, and its glittery childishness.”
EXHIBITION Russian Kitch
Anya Myagkikh
Curated by Francisco Lacerda
The kitsch style appeared in late 19th century, but in the 20th Century, with the creation of Pop Art, specially by Andy Wharol and Roy Lichtenstein, kitsch became an important vehicle as art style, as media, and as theme, among a big number of artists, generally associated with European or American culture. The selection of works Unconscious that we present from Anya´s art collection, are a representation of emotions and graphic elements, with scratching and rubbing silhouettes into the fabric. The use of this unconventional material used to make napper on, is almost unique in the world, because she almost self-portraits her emotions, traditions, memories and personality in one single round work.

Private and Business aviation is more than flying. It is a lifestyle, where time and attention are the most precious resources. Illustrated by unique art pieces, the art curator Francisco Lacerda, presents an exclusive exhibition inspired by the works of Joan Miró and Wassily Kandinsky. The Russian artist Anya Myagkikh explores the space between, flow, happiness, body and object.
The uniqueness of movement. We are giants and we are tiny. We are beautiful and ugly. We are the most and we are the least. We are who speaks, and we are who hears. We are the color white and we are the color black. We are the light and we are the darkness. We are the day and we are the night. We are the sun and we are the rain. We are the movement. We unleash the guillotines and we lose ourselves to find ourselves in an ethereal space to lose ourselves again. We gravitate, we float between grimaces of astonishment and smiles of complicity. Time ceases to be time and the movement dictates the compass of our journey. We walked, rolled, jumped, and momentarily became static. In acceleration or slow motion, we are free, we are everything and we are nothing, we are the movement of the imagination.
There is an unrealistic moving through Anya Myagkikh paintings. In fact we can imagine the move, the joy, the sadness, the fear all kind of human sensations if we let our look flying. Painting is a travel to our feelings.
