Born in Russia, Anastassia Skopp was raised by her Mom in the city of Saransk where she studied art for 7 years (1985-1992) at the Mordovian Art College named after P.F. Ryabov for children and young people. There she learned about drawing, composition, art of painting and sculpturing from well-known artists and painters.

Anastassia has been drawn to art since she was a little girl. So much,
one day she decided to try her luck and check out a local art college secretly. A month later her Mom received a bill for the art college and although surprised and certainly concerned about the monthly cost, she supported her wish to attend the art college where Anastassia spent the next 7 years surrounded by the smell of paint and the rhythm of canvasses.

In 1999, Anastassia graduated from the Mordovian State Pedagogical Institute in Saransk with a degree as a Teacher of German and English Languages. During her time at the institute, her love for art continued to grow and she attended art courses there for 2 years. Not long after graduation, she worked at the Mordovian State University in Saransk until she got married in 2002 and moved to Germany. Here in Germany, after a short career pause raising her daughters, she got to her painting brushes again and did not let go of them until today. In 2005, she officially became a freelance artist and successfully presented her paintings online. In that same year, she was contacted by the innovative gallery from Cologne „Canvasa“ in order to sign a contract with her for 4 years.

In 2017, she graduated from the University Duisburg-Essen with a B.A. - Bachelor of Arts Social Work. In addition to creating beautiful paintings, Anastassia feels empowered and fulfilled by helping other people.
During 17 years of her career as an artist, she has created and sold more than 1.5 thousand paintings. Her works of art can be found in private collections around the world from Europe to the USA and Canada.
