"celebrating the relationships that we have with the soil and living creatures"

Astrig Akseralian

Astrig obtained a Degree in Ceramics from the Central School of Art and Design, London in 1986. After a number of years selling her ceramics, Astrig had a career change moving to work in the film industry as a painter in numerous Creature Effects Departments over a 27 year span. Many films and many locations later she made the decision to leave London and the film industry moving to Cambridge where she now paints full-time.

“In my recent work I have found myself, unconsciously, returning to my pre-loved themes. As well as landscapes and figures, animals have been appearing in my paintings and my work has gradually taken on a more narrative quality. Many of the things that I love have come together naturally, gradually and without force. I am slowly developing my repertoire of more exotic animals, with tigers, bears and monkeys making an appearance in my more recent work.”
“My repeating themes celebrate the relationships that we have with the soil and living creatures. Ancient and deep connections. It is essential for me that I depict all of these elements with the joy that I feel for them.”
