Anya Mokhova received her MA at Chelsea College of Art in 2011. For the past 12 years, Anya has balanced her career as an artist with her work as a sculpture tutor in contemporary art. She has attended summer schools such as Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts, Royal College of Art, and Slade School of Fine Art in London. Her exhibitions have included the Jewish Museum in Moscow, Tbilisi Art Fair in Georgia, Shoreditch Arts Club, and Shtager&Shch Gallery in London.

Anya explores natural bases for her objects (tallow, bee’s wax, and soap), classical (gold, brass, and bronze), and contemporary ones (acrylic stone, silicone, and resin). She employs techniques such as incrustation, engraving, and casting, working with both rigid and soft, natural and artificial materials. These aim to create an intriguing visual language that references classical arts and is suggestive of a tactile interaction. Anya’s works explore mystery and fantasy in the mundane through visual, sensual, and imaginative ways of perceiving artist-created objects and spaces.
