Girl
The image of the girl is reimagined through the prism of digital distortions. The figure seems to dissolve into pixels or 'float,' symbolizing the simulative nature of the surrounding world and the fragility of the perception of reality.
The subject's face and silhouette are intentionally stripped of clear, academic boundaries. Anna Yardy uses the deformation of form to convey internal reflection, self-analysis, and the instability of the human 'self.'
The work is executed in her signature expressive style, without any preliminary sketches or drawings. Each brushstroke and graphic trace captures a pure, momentary emotion of the artist directly during the creation process.
Anna Yardy was born in St. Petersburg, where she currently lives and works. In her practice, Anna works at the intersection of figurative painting and graphic art.
In her artistic explorations, Anna utilizes digital glitch effects, color inversion (negative), and sharp contrasts to create a sense of a 'shifted' reality. Her visual language addresses the fragility of mental constructs, the simulative nature of the surrounding world, and reflections on the nature of beauty, ephemerality, and human identity.
Anna's works are held in private collections across Russia and Europe. She actively exhibits in galleries such as Space Four, Nebesa, Metamodernists, and Beriozka in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and frequently participates in contemporary art fairs.
