Berlin-based artist, Anna Nezhnaya explores remaining sacred spaces in contemporary life, diverse spiritual traditions in the West and their transformations during recent decades. Her primary focus is space in a non-didactic sense. Her work oscillates between objectivity and abstraction (both manual and digital) and explores identity in the post Internet age and the slippery divide between reality and virtual reality, in paintings, light objects, drawings.
