Who is Ksenia Pasyura and why invest in her? 
 
Ksenia Pasyura, born in 1986, is a visual artist and painter based in London. Her artistic pursuits revolve around a deep exploration of the human body in its various forms. Pasyura's artworks are characterized by a vibrant and dynamic style that blends traditional portraiture with abstract expressionism, offering a surreal perspective on the human form. 
 
Artistic Approach 
Delving into the intricate relationship between the mind and body, Ksenia Pasyura portrays human figures in her paintings with distinctive traits like unnaturally wide smiles, disproportionately large feet, and contorted anatomies, intentionally defying traditional gender norms. This deliberate departure from conventional representation underscores her belief that the body acts as a canvas reflecting the intricacies of human psychology and emotions. Using humor and carnival-esque imagery, Pasyura's creations convey layers of complexity and irony, challenging viewers to reassess conventional notions of beauty and identity. Through her portrayal of figures with distorted limbs and enlarged eyes, she encourages contemplation on the essence of embodiment and self-perception. These figures emerge as powerful symbols, encapsulating the contradictions inherent in the human experience. 
 
Exploration of the Grotesque 
Pasyura tackles the provocative theme of the grotesque, often marginalized in contemporary culture, by celebrating bodies considered unattractive or unconventional. Her large-scale compositions, characterized by vivid colors, defy societal norms by elevating these ostensibly unpleasant forms. Beyond their visual impact, Pasyura's paintings convey nuanced narratives, where her subjects exude a sense of lightness and joy, challenging established ideals of beauty and provoking reflection on the subjective nature of aesthetics. 
 
Nahmad Projects' Support for Emerging Talent 
Established in 2016, Nahmad Projects initially focused on conceptual and contemporary art, as seen in its inaugural exhibition curated by Francesco Bonami, inspired by the work of Tino Sehgal. Joseph Nahmad, the gallery's founder, comes from the esteemed Nahmad art dynasty, renowned for its vast art collection valued at around $3 billion, which includes numerous works by Picasso. While Nahmad Projects has featured established artists like Raghav Babbar and Jan Frank, it has also demonstrated a dedication to discovering and nurturing emerging talents. The Nahmad family's expertise extends to modern masters such as Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, among others. Additionally, Nahmad Projects maintains connections with Nahmad Contemporary, a secondary market gallery showcasing a diverse range of established artists from Odilon Redon and Joan Miró to Richard Prince and John Chamberlain.

Over the last two decades, art has proven to be a more lucrative investment choice in comparison to assets like the S&amp;P 500 and the FTSE 100. The lack of liquidity in artworks, making them difficult to convert into cash quickly, is beneficial for assets that maintain stable values and demonstrate little correlation with fluctuations in the stock market.

Stability

Ksenia Pasyura, an up-and-coming artist, hosted her first solo art show, named 'Transforming the Human Figure into Unfamiliar Flesh,' in London in October 2023.
