Silybum

Anna Vershinina's work Silybum was inspired by the beauty and subtlety of natural forms, especially the rich flora of Siberia, where the artist spent her childhood. Elegant ornaments were created using a technique reminiscent of linocut engraving. As a graphic artist, Vershinina prefers to use black-and-white contrast strokes to emphasize the aesthetics of form. Her close-up abstract images of flowers invite viewers to slow down and enjoy the process of careful observation.

Originally from Russia, Anna Vershinina studied at the Irkutsk State Art College before earning a degree in Graphic Art at the Stroganov Moscow State Academy of Design and Applied Arts.

Deeply inspired by nature and the quiet beauty of everyday moment, she tried to capture the poetry of daily life in a symbolic and genuine way. Her work is characterised by abstract forms and black-and-white contrasts. She believes that simplicity means clarity of thought and invites viewers to a deeper reflection on the beauty and essence of life. Vershinina currently lives and works in Moscow.
