Beach hut studios brings you Anastasia Sarantinou
Anastasia Sarantinou is a South African Artist born on 31st January 1965. She obtained a Fine Art Degree from the University of Technology
Orange Free State in 1986. She specialised in Printmaking and silk screening as her major.
Since 1994 she has been painting fulltime.
Her work often portrays the graphic feel of silk screening. Especially in her layering and obvious technique of exposing bottom layers as if “off registration”. She finds her inspiration in everyday life, a fleeting moment, an emotion or a colour. Mostly figurative work. She strives to capture an emotion rather than a scene.
Every painting has a story and in that story the emotion lies. Colour plays an important part in portraying this emotion. Most of her work is executed by palette knife and very seldom with a brush. Anastasia owns a studio/gallery in Muizenberg, Cape Town where she teaches every day. She has been involved in many group exhibition and over the years her work has sold to numerous tourists and collectors from America, Europe and the UK.
