Anna Volkova (1974) draws inspiration from 17th century Dutch still lifes, transforming the fragile beauty of flowers into delicate porcelain sculptures. Her works echo the elegance of blooms, reminiscent of Ambrosius Bosschaert's bouquets, capturing the dynamic essence and fleeting existence of flowers.
Born in Saint Petersburg, Volkova gratuated from the Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design (1998), the Gerrit Rietveld Academy (2001), and the sandberg institute (2007). Since 1998 she lives in the Netherlands, and works as a professional artist in her studio in Amsterdam. Her art works are featured in different museums such as the Princessehof Museum (Netherlands), the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (Germany), the Hermitage Museum (Russia), the Houston Museum of Fine Arts (USA) and private collections.
Volkova uses porcelain for its purity and translucency, perfectly capturing the delicate beauty of flowers. She developed a unique technique, enabling her to create thin, translucent forme. Each flower is hand-sculpted and fired at high temperature, resulting in unique shapes and colors with a soft, matte texture, resembling fine jewelry in its fragility.
