Who is Ksenia Pasyura and why invest in her?

Born in 1986, she is a visual artist and painter based in London. Her creative work is distinguished by its contemplation of the human body in all its forms. Pasyura's colorful and dynamic works feature a surreal blend of traditional portraiture and abstract expressionism, transforming the body into an unfamiliar flesh.

Artistic Practice
Ksenia Pasyura delves into the complex interaction between the psyche and the body. Her painted human figures, characterized by eerily wide smiles, disproportionately large feet, and twisted anatomies, notably lack conventional genders. This deliberate omission suggests that the body transcends its corporeality and becomes a canvas that vividly manifests the processes of the human psyche and the complex weave of emotional interiors.
Through her use of humor and carnivalesque motifs, Pasyura's works emanate a sense of complexity and irony, challenging viewers to question conventional notions of beauty and identity. Her painted figures, with bent limbs and amplified eyes, evoke a sense of unease, inviting the audience to reflect on how we inhabit our bodies. These figures become powerful symbols, emblematic of the contradictions within the human condition.

Grotesque
The artist addresses the controversial issue of the grotesque. Contemporary popular culture often marginalizes bodies considered unattractive or disfigured. However, Pasyura's artistic compositions, characterized by their large scale and vibrant color palette, defy society's tendency to overlook these seemingly unpleasant forms. Though visual in their application, Pasyura's paintings reveal a nuanced narrative, where her protagonists exude a subtext of lightness and jubilation, subverting conventional notions of beauty and inviting contemplation on the subjective nature of aesthetic perception.
