Marina Astakhova is a multidisciplinary artist working in the field of geometric abstraction.
A distinctive features of her creative method are vibrating abstract geometric ornaments based on the traditions of Russian avant-garde, op-art, orphism and post-painterly, hardedge abstraction.
The work of the artist is to observe nature in the multiplicity of its dimensions, and transform personal observation of the world through the sequence of elements on the canvas.
For the author, practice is continuous structured experiments with forms, colours, artistic techniques and materials in search for harmony of all elements.
Abstract art in the understanding of the author should stimulate the conscious process of contemplation. It connects the artist’s process of making with a viewer’s experience of looking, both bases on deep concentration.
