Anastasia Bay is an artist whose paintings blend mythological and art historical traditions with contemporary culture. Her works create a striking visual language that feels both timeless and modern, often set against minimalist backgrounds. Her ambitious exhibition Maestra Lacrymae was conceived as an opera, combining various artistic forms and featuring key archetypal characters she frequently explores in her work. A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Bay has exhibited widely, with works held in major collections including the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and ICA Miami.
