Aleksandra ANISA Ianchenko
I am a visual artist, researcher and curator working across painting, drawing and performance. My practice introduces the strange into the everyday, creating fictional worlds and drawing attention to overlooked experiences of familiar places.
My paintings combine vivid colour, abundant vegetation and figurative narratives to explore intimacy, desire and relationships between humans and their environments. In my drawings and performances, I turn to public spaces, particularly public transport, to explore how movement, encounters and memory shape our experience of place. Humour and imagination connect these different strands of my work.
Observation is central to my practice. I use on-site drawing both as an artistic process and as a research method, while my exhibitions bring artworks into dialogue with historical materials, personal stories and academic research.
I hold a doctoral degree from Tallinn University and Åbo Akademi University. My dissertation, Estranging Trams: Atmospheres of Trams in Art, brings artistic practice into conversation with urban and mobility studies. I also hold master’s degrees in Monumental and Decorative Arts and Art Management.
