      <image:title>About - Anastasia Benko is an award winning multifaceted visual artist and photographer.  Born in Ukraine, she now lives and works in Germany. Having spent her formative years internationally Anastasia’s leitmotif is a true honor to her multicultural heritage. She is not afraid to bridge various disciplines and her diversified artistic expression is not tied to a particular métier or medium. Her œuvre includes fine art photography, drawings and abstract paintings. Biographical events have always been inseparably intertwined with her journey as an artist and taught her to challenge the idea of dichotomy and embrace ambiguity, by being a representative for a multitude of different voices and views. ‚Borders‘ is a fluid concept to her, advocating unity and collective understanding through a skillset of adaptability and resourcefulness. Over 15 years of artistic education and an academic background in art history, she has worked with prestigious institutions such as The Hermitage and The Amber Room, St. Petersburg. In addition to solo shows at i.e. the Design Post in Cologne, Anastasia has collaborated with iconic brands like Porsche, Architectural Digest Germany and Louis Poulsen. Anastasia has carved a hopeful path for herself as a visual artist: pushing boundaries and an ever evolving, optimistic visual language is a driving force to conquer daily challenges. Her work continues to mirror a relentless search for a sense of shared togetherness and joy, translating the very experience of being human into art.  She is best recognized for her distinctive ‚Sorbet Series‘ - poured paintings with a multidimensional depth. More than 70 layers of neon pigments and a complex, labor-intensive wet-on-wet technique create an energizing aura. Throughout the day, the luminosity shifts from being delicate to becoming a vibrant force. Feel free to browse her archive and discover some of her exclusive series for the ZEIT SHOP or her drawings over at THE POSTER CLUB.</image:title>

      <image:title>kind words - “Als das Kunstwerk ,Sorbet’ von Anastasia bei uns eingezogen ist, war es, als würde sich eine neue Tür öffnen. Eine Tür, in die Welt von Kunst. Nie hätte ich gedacht, dass ein Gemälde den Raum so zum Strahlen bringen kann. Normalerweise achte ich bei der Einrichtung eher auf leise Farbtöne. Das ,Sorbet’ hat einen Ton, der sehr aufregend, aber pulsierend auf der einen Seite, entspannend und einfügend auf der anderen Seite ist. Das Kunstwerk verleiht unserem Wohnzimmer eine Tiefe und Einzigartigkeit, die ich vorher noch nie wahrgenommen habe. Es ist modern und energiegeladen, aber auch elegant.”</image:title>

      <image:title>kind words - „Von Anfang an schmachte ich die Sorbet-Bilder meiner Lieblingskünstlerin und lieben Freundin an, denn sie hat mich bei fast jedem ihrer Schritte per WhatsApp mitgenommen. Weil ich weiß, dass die Nachfrage zu ihrer Sorbet Serie so groß ist und sie 24/7 in ihrem Studio ist, hab ich mich nie getraut eins zu bestellen. Als sie mir dann die ersten Fotos der zart getönten Serie geschickt hat, war es mit meiner vornehmen Zurückhaltung vorbei und ich habe gleich zwei Bilder bestellt! Nun wohnen beide schon fast ein Jahr bei mir und strahlen zu jeder Jahreszeit eine einzigartige Atmosphäre aus, die so einnehmend ist, dass jeder, der hier reinkommt, auch gleich verliebt ist in die Bellinis.”</image:title>

      <image:title>kind words - „Als ich die ersten Bellinis von Anastasia gesehen habe, wusste ich sofort: so eines möchte ich auch! Und als dann endlich mein Traum-Sorbet - in einem hauchzarten Pink - bei mir eingezogen ist, hätte ich glücklicher nicht sein können. Diese Bilder sind einfach magisch und ich freue mich jeden einzelnen Tag, wenn ich es angucke!”</image:title>

      <image:title>kind words - „Ein Bellini ist wie ein Designklassiker, es fügt sich ein und steht doch für sich. Ist ein Solitär ohne aufdringlich zu wirken und scheint immer wieder mit jeder Uhrzeit und dem Licht seine Farbigkeit aufs Neue zu entfalten. Im Herbst, wenn die Sonne nicht mehr so hoch steht, streift sie das Bild für wenige Minuten am Morgen und wir genießen jeden Morgen diesen Moment. Und dann am Nachmittag, wenn das Licht von der Seite kommt, fühlt es sich an, als würde das Bellini die Sonnenstrahlen einfangen, um sie am Abend bei Kerzenschein wieder abzugeben…”</image:title>

      <image:title>kind words - „Als ich das erste Mal den Sorbet Bellini sah, war klar: irgendwie muss ich jetzt so ein Prachtexemplar für mein Esszimmer haben. Das i—Tüpfelchen fehlte schließlich noch in diesem Raum zu meinem OUT-Stuhl. Als Anastasia dann auch noch persönlich mit einer Auswahl von drei ihrer schönen Werke vorbeikam, fiel die Entscheidung allerdings sehr schnell. Besonders faszinieren mich an dem Kunstwerk die elegante Schlichtheit und Farbintensität. Der ganze Raum strahlt jetzt und ich bin einfach happy und stolz, Besitzerin eines so schönen Kunstwerkes zu sein. Es ist jetzt auf jeden Fall das absolute Highlight in unseren vier Wänden. Wer weiß, vielleicht kommt ja irgendwann nochmal ein zweites hinzu.’’</image:title>

      <image:title>Home - sorbet series</image:title>
      <image:caption>Refining the brightest moments and elements has always been the leitmotif in all my work. The first paintings of the sorbet series were created in 2018 because I had lost my ease in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Deliberately I wanted to jump off the carousel of what we call perfectionism and I felt that the complex wet-on-wet technique was the perfect exercise for giving up control and throwing myself into chaos. It started as a meditative experiment of patience: more than 70 layers of neon pigments create an energizing aura. Throughout the day, the luminosity shift from being delicate to becoming a vibrant force. Distilling the most powerful colors to their essential core has brought back the whimsical and fearless flow I had cultivated all my life.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>‘I still remember the first time Anastasia and I talked to each other years ago. Time flew by so fast and our first call quickly turned into a long conversation about our life, childhood, inspiration and all kinds of emotions that come with it. What I like most about her is the fact the she is such a strong person and always tries her best to make the right decisions. She has the power to make you believe in what you love. But the most beautiful thing about her is that she uses her life experiences and emotions to create art out of it.’ - Dawid Lagua, Munich</image:caption>

      <image:caption>„Von Anfang an schmachte ich die Sorbet-Bilder meiner Lieblingskünstlerin und lieben Freundin an, denn sie hat mich bei fast jedem ihrer Schritte per WhatsApp mitgenommen. Weil ich weiß, dass die Nachfrage zu ihrer Sorbet Serie so groß ist und sie 24/7 in ihrem Studio ist, hab ich mich nie getraut eins zu bestellen. Als sie mir dann die ersten Fotos der zart getönten Serie geschickt hat, war es mit meiner vornehmen Zurückhaltung vorbei und ich habe gleich zwei Bilder bestellt! Nun wohnen beide schon fast ein Jahr bei mir und strahlen zu jeder Jahreszeit eine einzigartige Atmosphäre aus, die so einnehmend ist, dass jeder, der hier reinkommt, auch gleich verliebt ist in die Bellinis.” – Judith, Köln</image:caption>

      <image:caption>„Ein Bellini ist wie ein Designklassiker, es fügt sich ein und steht doch für sich. Ist ein Solitär ohne aufdringlich zu wirken und scheint immer wieder mit jeder Uhrzeit und dem Licht seine Farbigkeit aufs Neue zu entfalten. Im Herbst, wenn die Sonne nicht mehr so hoch steht, streift sie das Bild für wenige Minuten am Morgen und wir genießen jeden Morgen diesen Moment. Und dann am Nachmittag, wenn das Licht von der Seite kommt, fühlt es sich an, als würde das Bellini die Sonnenstrahlen einfangen, um sie am Abend bei Kerzenschein wieder abzugeben…” – Yasmin, Krefeld</image:caption>

      <image:caption>„Als ich das erste Mal den Sorbet Bellini sah, war klar: irgendwie muss ich jetzt so ein Prachtexemplar für mein Esszimmer haben. Das i—Tüpfelchen fehlte schließlich noch in diesem Raum zu meinem OUT-Stuhl. Als Anastasia dann auch noch persönlich mit einer Auswahl von drei ihrer schönen Werke vorbeikam, fiel die Entscheidung allerdings sehr schnell. Besonders faszinieren mich an dem Kunstwerk die elegante Schlichtheit und Farbintensität. Der ganze Raum strahlt jetzt und ich bin einfach happy und stolz, Besitzerin eines so schönen Kunstwerkes zu sein. Es ist jetzt auf jeden Fall das absolute Highlight in unseren vier Wänden. Wer weiß, vielleicht kommt ja irgendwann nochmal ein zweites hinzu.’’ – Frauke, Hamburg</image:caption>

      <image:caption>„I’ve been following Anastasia’s artistic journey for a while, but it wasn’t until I received my first ‚Sorbet‘ painting that we became very good friends. I can look back and say that this first original painting introduced me to an entirely new universe: the world of art. Having lived with our first ‚Sorbet‘ for a few years now, I’ve seen the artwork take on a life of its own. Some days it appears to be super minimalistic, on other days it has this omnipresent energy. I love when she shares her latest studio experiments with me via WhatsApp but this time it was different: having visited her in her studio I could tell the Mini-series had the very same magnetic effect like their larger siblings. To her surprise I insisted to buy one, even before it was finished and framed. I couldn’t be happier about this Mini Sorbet because nothing matches the uplifting effect her paintings have.” – Dawid, Munich</image:caption>
