Anastasia Winter is an expressionist artist from Russia. She always paints her paintings in oil, preferring linen canvases with coarse grain. She applies paint from a tube directly onto the canvas so that all the strokes are visible. One stroke is one brush stroke. Somewhere pastosy, somewhere the canvas is not painted, there is sloppiness, roughness, incomplete areas, traces of strokes... In his work uses graphic techniques, geometry of lines, as a means of expression. With strokes of different types and different directions creates a fascinating rhythm. The lines convey the texture of the object. As a result, the image is expressive and energetic, rhythmic. This gives the work dynamics, drama and expression. Always achieves rich texture, pastosity. Constantly works to ensure that the manner of performance was free and energetic. With the help of a stroke and the shadow tries to convey not so much external form as to fill this form of emotional meaning. He is very fond of rich texture and relief. As a result, the works have a multidimensional and almost three-dimensional surface. They look different depending on the light source. For Anastasia surface texture is as important as color and image, if not more. The artist likes to apply thick, not diluted and not mixed, pure color. Such pure color has a great amplitude of energy. It allows her to express in her works the whole gamut of feelings and states. All objects are usually outlined with dark contour lines. This method makes the work more expressive. Often such means of expression as contrast are used. This allows one to convey emotions and contradictions in the soul of the work's author.
