About the artist:
Collectors highly regard Anastasia Aureum's work for its sophisticated fusion of realism, surrealism, and abstract expressionism. Often described as a "passionate art dance," her style bridges the gap between traditional fine art and high-luxury aesthetic, making her a frequent choice for large-scale architectural and elite residential spaces.
Artistic Philosophy
Style
Aureum’s work is characterized by a "personal interiorization"—a desire to move beyond the surface of reality to capture the inner nature of her subjects.
The "Art Dance": She fluidly merges genres, allowing figures to dissolve into abstract forms or emerge from surreal, dreamlike landscapes.
Themes: Her portfolio frequently explores vulnerability, intimacy, identity, and transformation. Common motifs include fragmented human figures, circus/theater elements, and horses, often set against muted earth tones or vibrant, emotive palettes.
Mediums: She is a multi-disciplinary artist working in oils, acrylics, watercolors, and even terracotta sculpture. Her large-scale canvases are particularly sought after for their "tactile" quality, achieved through meticulous layering and blending.
Market Value
Collector Appeal
For art buyers, Aureum represents a blend of established prestige and contemporary growth:
Institutional Presence: Her work is held in prestigious permanent collections, most notably the Vatican Museums. She has also been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
Price Range: Original works typically range from $3,000 to over $15,000, though her large-scale masterpiece "Circle of Life" has been valued at over $100,000. Limited edition prints and works on paper offer an entry point for newer collectors, often priced between $1,000 and $2,500.
Global Reach: Her pieces are held in private collections across the UK, USA, Italy, Singapore, and France.
