Komar的实践基于解构主义哲学，例如结构和表面的碎片化和操纵，以及复杂和不可能的形式的相互联系。她的作品概念大多来自于鲜为人知的历史故事、民间传说与未被关注的社会话题，通过传统绘画的创作手法与现代新型材料的重组与共生，呈现出独特的平面与空间关系，将传统的绘画与雕塑形式有机混合并进行重新解读。
Anastasia Komar, born in 1986, holds a master's degree in architecture and environmental design and currently resides in New York. Her work features detailed paintings interspersed with biological sculptures, continuing her long-standing exploration of mythology and science. Anastasia's pieces have been exhibited at the School of Visual Arts Gallery in New York, Asphodel Gallery, New Collectors Gallery, and the CICA Museum in Korea. Additionally, she has personal sculpture projects at specific locations in New York and California.
Anastasia Komar's practice is rooted in deconstructivist philosophy, characterized by the fragmentation and manipulation of structures and surfaces, as well as the interplay of complex and impossible forms. Her conceptual work often draws from obscure historical narratives, folklore, and overlooked social issues. Through the fusion of traditional painting techniques with modern materials, she presents unique relationships between plane and space, organically blending and reinterpreting traditional forms of painting and sculpture.

Komar常参考科学、神学和历史，将其中的未知与永恒用简短、生动和发光的笔触呈现在画作中。除此之外，她以玻璃质感的混合材料为基材进行雕塑，同时呼应生物分子、和神话中的哺乳动物的形象，从边缘突出并包围表面的混合实体雕塑，暗示一种寄生或共生关系。
Komar frequently references science, theology, and history, presenting the unknown and the eternal through brief, vivid, and luminous strokes in her paintings. Additionally, she uses glass-like mixed materials for her sculptures, echoing images of biological molecules and mythological mammals. The mixed-media entities with protruding edges and covered surface suggests a parasitic or symbiotic relationship.
HeLa ，2021
作品“HeLa”，由带刺的蛇形半透明身体包裹着，末端是优雅的贝母花，一分为二的造型象征着暴力和迫害，以及伤害过后的哀悼和悲伤。HeLa是一种古老的不朽细胞，这种细胞的来源与非洲裔女性Henrietta Lack对某种癌症的研究有关，Komar以此提醒人们历史上对妇女和少数族裔的剥削及她们所追求的科学突破。在“Hitodam”中，Komar通过描绘超现实的生物体来审视她的精神世界。Hitodam与日本的民间传说有关，用来描绘被认为是代表人类灵魂的发光球体。在Komar的多维作品中，这种未知的生命形式感横亘于作品和观众的视角之间，阐释了我们精神世界中的未名情感与想象。
The work “HeLa” features a thorny, serpentine, translucent body encircling an elegant fritillary flower at its end. The split form symbolizes violence and persecution, as well as the mourning and sorrow that follow such harm. “HeLa” refers to a type of immortal cell derived from Henrietta Lacks, an African American woman whose cells were used in cancer research. Komar uses this piece to remind viewers of the historical exploitation of women and minorities and the scientific breakthroughs they pursued.
In “Hitodam”, Komar examines her inner world through the depiction of surreal biological forms. “Hitodam” is related to Japanese folklore and describes glowing orbs believed to represent human souls. In Komar's multidimensional work, this enigmatic life form spans the space between the artwork and the viewer, illuminating the unnamed emotions and imaginings within our spiritual realm.

每一幅作品都会由玻璃聚合物制成的精致藤蔓在画布上的延伸组成，再由细腻的笔触构建出一张张抽象的平面作品。Komar细致的笔法放大了作品的雕塑质感，作品风格的灵感大多来源于传统的点彩画法（Pointillism），并在作品中将这种画法做出现代性的阐释。Komar近期以空灵的构图和对空间张力这一概念的思考展开了实践。在Fragment Gallery的个展“Hosts”中，延续了她一直以来对神话和科学的探索。
“My practice is based on deconstructivist philosophies such as the fragmentation and manipulation of structure and surface, and the interconnection of complex and improbable forms. Currently, I examine the notion of spatial tension.”
Each piece of Komar's work is composed of delicate glass polymer vines extending across the canvas, with abstract surfaces meticulously crafted through fine brushstrokes. Her detailed technique enhances the sculptural quality of the works, drawing inspiration from the tradition of pointillism and offering a modern interpretation of this painting method.Komar's recent work explores ethereal compositions and the concept of spatial tension. In her solo exhibition "Hosts" at Fragment Gallery, she continues her exploration of mythology and science.
