SFKNG

Sofa Semenova is a young artist working under the pseudonym SFKNG. She graduated from the University of Derby in Shanghai in 2018 with a degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communication.

Sophia’s creativity is very intuitive and emotional. The main thing in her paintings is color, but forms and composition are born during the process of writing the work. According to the artist, she does not have a specific plan or sketches before starting work. The first and most important point is the choice of colors and their combination with each other, and you can also use any available materials that suit your mood. Free negligence manifests itself in «mistakes» and stains, which become the main elements of the sofa’s performance.

OQ6ANA

For OQ6ANA (Oksana Afanasyeva), abstraction is a way to step away from the rules of academicism, where she gives herself the freedom to express feelings through intuitive choices of color, composition and technique. According to the artist, she does not have clearly developed ideas about this or that work; she relies on intuition and the subconscious.

«My work is a search for my own artistic language with the help of random lines and spots, a heap of details, layers and color chaos».

Anna Konopleva

Anna Konopleva is a young artist from Moscow.

The works show everyday life, touching on topics such as relationships between people, modern technology, and the transience of life. The artist looks at the world through a positive prism, so his works are to some extent reminiscent of «memes.»

«I joke a lot in life, I try to look at everything from a positive point of view. In part, humor is a defensive reaction to the complexity and uncertainty of the world around us. Every job for me is a way to find a solution to my problem. Joking allows me to do it safely, because even if you don’t get the exact answer, in the end you can just laugh,» says Anna about her work.
