Hello, I’m Anna Nesterenko, a curator, art manager, and artist, originally from Ukraine and now based in London. My curatorial interests lie in the areas of contemporary conceptualism and activist art with the main focus on performances, installations, and films. I also have a particular interest in contemporary Eastern European and Asian art.
As a contemporary Ukrainian artist living in the UK, my work has been heavily influenced by my personal experience and the complex cultural and political dynamics of my homeland. In my artistic practice, I view abstract art as a powerful vehicle for self-exploration and introspection. Through the interplay of colours, shapes, and textures, I delve deep into the realms of my own emotions, memories, and subconscious. Abstract art allows me to transcend the boundaries of literal representation, encouraging viewers to engage with my work on a visceral and intuitive level. I invite them to embark on their own personal journeys of exploration and interpretation.
My art is about the celebration of freedom, diversity and self-expression. This is an ode to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of art to connect cultures and build bridges of mutual understanding.
