Anastasia Borodina is a contemporary figurative painter based in the United Kingdom, best known for her iconographically structured compositions that explore psychological depth, cultural symbolism, and the fragile boundary between inner and outer worlds. Her paintings investigate the transformation of traditional European symbols within contemporary society, focusing on the human search for meaning, identity, and emotional grounding. Childhood plays a central role in her work as a formative period in which patterns of self-identity and perception are shaped.
Borodina received her academic training at the Ilya Repin St. Petersburg State Academy of Arts (2012–2019) in the Studio of Yuri Kalyuta and has since exhibited internationally, including at the prestigious Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2023) and the Almenara Art Prize Exhibition (2025). In 2025, Anastasia Borodina received a Certificate of Excellence from the Portrait Society of America.
