Anastasia Skabelkina, through digital art, shows the viewer that the physical reality can be changeable and dual. She conveys this idea through an aesthetic she calls futuristic, using terms like abstract futurism and digital mysticism.

​

These terms manifest in her works as a constant fluidity of imagery. The ability to alter perception through light, and the notion that our ingrained perception is not the sole norm but can be easily transformed through technology. In this regard, digital technologies showcase the potential of playing with reality. Here, the solid can become fluid, and the stable can become dynamic. Anastasia utilizes the inherent quality of digital art's transformation and mutation as a visual technique aimed at expanding our worldview.

​

Expanding one's worldview has the paramount importance to Anastasia, as it provides an opportunity to evoke our best qualities and transform fear and aggression into love and harmony. In the artist's view, there is more within us than we can express while we are confined by our familiar world or everyday circumstances.

​

Art serves as the trigger with which we can interact to expand our potential for self-expression and our finest qualities. Essentially, it is the therapeutic power of art that, in Anastasia's perspective, can be maximized through digital environments that enable interactive engagement.

The action prompted by a digital art installation encourages the viewer to discover new possibilities within themselves and to realize the interconnectedness of all people, the ability to transit into the digital space and become a part of the artwork. Thus, the sublime becomes an integral part of the individual.

​

Duality technique in art and the opportunity to interact with the environment are the mechanics that help the viewer come to themselves through manifestation. Anastasia feels the importance of these practices through her own experience. For many years, the artist faced various environments where the individual's identity was suppressed, hindering its expression and revelation. 

 

The attempt to break free from such an environment led to the idea of shaping a space in art where the artwork visually and through human participation, negates the past experience of certain perception. On the other side, it offers an engagement in something new, where the individual has a chance to feel their own uniqueness. So, the artist seeks to create the world of the future, where new technologies are not a threat but a guide to self-discovery and social harmony.
