Anna Kudryashova
Bio
Anna Kudryashova lives and works in Tilburg, Netherlands. Mostly works with video-registrations of performances, installations, performances and videos. She was born in 1996 in Cheboksary, in the Chuvash Republic of Russia. At the age of thirteen, she emigrated with her mother to a Belgian village right on the border with the Netherlands. The unfamiliar surroundings and language barriers posed challenges in communication, but also inspired her to explore new ways of expressing her inner world.
In 2022, Anna graduated from the Fine Arts department at St. Joost in Den Bosch.
Artist statement
My work arises from strong personal experiences. I often feel
trapped in the reality of life, but also in my head. In those moments I experience parallelization of the physical body and the
rise of emotions.
Emotions that are so dominant that they have to leave my body
and form on their own. They come out in the form of images because I cannot always find the words for them.
Often, my work deals with the border between presence and absence in reality, between body and thoughts, and the alienation
that can take place between reality and the individual. The conversation between yourself and the world and yourself with yourself.
You can't always lay a finger on the moment of those dialogues,
they are always there at the background, but not always very distinguished.
Therefore, I try to depict transparency and fogginess to create a
dreamlike world in my work.
