Banff Memories, 8" x 10"

 Oil on Canvas. Framed in White.

This colourful oil painting has a very thick and rich texture with many layers of oil paint. It features the beautiful scenery of the Banff National Park, the place where you can see nature in all its wild beauty. The piece belongs to Anastasia`s series of works called "Sculptural Memories". With all the restrictions in place and being unable to travel now, she decided to create a series of multilayer oil paintings devoted to memories. All the paintings in the series are also sculptural paintings because of the extremely thick and layered texture of Anastasia`s unique works.

"What I love the most about memories is that they teach us to be truly present at the moment and to be grateful which I explore a lot in my works. Often we do not value what we already have, we do not appreciate the moments we are in right now until those moments become memories. While memories are an essential part of our lives, I wanted to remind my viewers about the importance of living in the present moment."
-Anastasia
