Anastasia Kondratovitch was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, from a very artistic family. Her mother is a writer and her father is a philosopher. Very early in her childhood, her father noticed her talent for art and sent her to an art school for young children. Later she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint-Petersburg. She graduated in 2004 with the master’s degree of Fine Arts. The steady
hand of this elegant lady and outstanding talent for conveying her ideas to canvas brings a quiver to the hearts of anyone seeing her paintings for the first time. Currently Rose lives and works in Vancouver, BC. She is continuously inspired by the beauty of its nature and scenery. Her medium of choice is oil and acrylic on canvas, which is an ideal match to her symbolic style that bridges the gap between classical school painting and decorative art. Her paintings often contain figurative elements that transcend the reality of everyday life. Rose has practiced her art in several different geographical locations. During the years she spent in France and in New Mexico USA, she participated in a number of shows and was honored with several awards. In 2005 she received the Jury's choice award and southwestern prize from the Roswell Fine Arts League and New Mexico Art Society. Her art work has been shown in the Greater Vancouver area since she moved there in March 2006.
