Please join us for our Project X residency show with local artists, Mikaella and Anastasia Fainberg
Anastasia Fainberg (b. 1995, Moscow) is an artist, photographer,
and set designer based in Limassol, Cyprus. Her practice centers on the dialogue between the ephemerality of nature and the transience of human emotion. Through organic materials, sculptural forms, and sensory metaphors, often involving food, flora, and found objects. She creates contemplative spaces that invite emotional and tactile perception. Her work draws on early experiences of finding comfort in nature, weaving personal memory with universal themes of transformation and synesthesia. Her projects have been exhibited at the Noorderlicht Photo Festival (Netherlands), MMOMA (Russia), the PH Museum (Italy), and 212 Photography Festival (Turkey). She has taken part in Cosmoscow and Blazar art fairs, and collaborated with brands such as Zara Home.
Her work has appeared in The New York Times, Elle Decoration, Fisheye, and other international publications.
At the core of Anastasia’s artistic practice is a dialogue between the transience of nature and the fleeting quality of human emotions. She works across diverse forms and materials — from organic matter to sculptural objects, crafting works where time seems to pause, inviting the viewer into a space of heightened sensory awareness.
Anastasia’s connection to nature is deeply personal, rooted in childhood memories of finding solace during solitary forest walks. These moments of quiet reflection continue to inspire her, surfacing in her art through recurring use of natural motifs and materials. Her fascination with synesthesia , the blending of senses where one sensation evokes another, guides her exploration of emotional perception. In her work, flowers, fruits, and food become poetic symbols of emotional states: delicate, ephemeral, and ever changing. Food, in Anastasia’s projects, transcends its material function to become a universal language of memory and a vessel of collective experience. Through a deliberate recontextualization of familiar objects, she constructs new relationships between form and meaning, weaving connections between the personal and the shared, the tangible and the emotional.
