Who is Ksenia Pasyura and why invest in her? 
 
Ksenia Pasyura, born in 1986, is a London-based visual artist and painter. Her artistic endeavors are characterized by a profound exploration of the human body in various manifestations. Pasyura's vibrant and dynamic artworks combine elements of traditional portraiture with abstract expressionism, offering a surreal interpretation of the human form. 
 
Artistic Approach 
Delving into the intricate relationship between the mind and body, Ksenia Pasyura depicts human figures in her paintings with distinct features such as unnaturally wide smiles, disproportionately large feet, and contorted anatomies, deliberately eschewing traditional gender norms. This intentional departure from conventional representation underscores her belief that the body serves as a canvas reflecting the complexities of the human psyche and emotions. 
Employing humor and carnival-like imagery, Pasyura's creations exude layers of complexity and irony, challenging viewers to reconsider conventional standards of beauty and identity. Through her depiction of figures with distorted limbs and enlarged eyes, she prompts contemplation on the nature of embodiment and self-perception. These figures emerge as potent symbols, encapsulating the contradictions inherent in the human experience. 
 
Exploration of the Grotesque 
Pasyura confronts the contentious theme of the grotesque, which contemporary culture often marginalizes, celebrating bodies deemed unattractive or unconventional. Her large-scale compositions, characterized by vibrant hues, defy societal norms by elevating these supposedly unpleasant forms. Beyond their visual impact, Pasyura's paintings convey nuanced narratives, wherein her subjects emanate a sense of levity and joy, challenging established ideals of beauty and prompting reflection on the subjective nature of aesthetics. 
 
Nahmad Projects' Dedication to Emerging Talent 
Founded in 2016, Nahmad Projects initially focused on conceptual and contemporary art, as evidenced by its inaugural exhibition curated by Francesco Bonami, inspired by Tino Sehgal's work. Joseph Nahmad, the gallery's founder, hails from the esteemed Nahmad art dynasty, renowned for its extensive art collection valued at approximately $3 billion, boasting numerous Picasso works. 
While Nahmad Projects has showcased established artists like Raghav Babbar and Jan Frank, it has also demonstrated a commitment to identifying and nurturing emerging talents. The Nahmad family's expertise extends to modern masters such as Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and others.
