INNER
LANDSCAPES
“Inner Landscape” is an installation by artist Anya Belyaevskaya, created in collaboration with Lisette Rosano, a professional contemporary dancer, and Francisco Lozano, an experimental musician. Together, they present a transdisciplinary improvisation where painting, bodily movement, and sound merge into a unified artistic expression. This performative dialogue between media becomes a way to express identity as a continuous process — oscillating between contradictions, shaped in an endless act of creation and reassembly.
“Anya Belyaevskaya’s work is composed primarily of oil portraits and fragmented body parts on glass and acrylic plates, positioned along the line between figuration and abstraction. The transparency and layering she achieves by suspending the paintings in space (rather than hanging them on a wall) generates a narrative of unstable passage in which the layers of the self intersect, blur, and are re-articulated.
Belyaevskaya’s artistic practice aligns with an aesthetic and cultural sensibility known as “metamodernism.” Coined by Timotheus Vermeulen and Robin van den Akker in 2010, the term does not denote a style or unified movement, but a structure of feeling that characterizes the contemporary spirit: a constant oscillation between extremes.
This new sensibility can be understood as a response to the skepticism and irony of postmodernity, seeking a reconciliation of contradictions and paradoxes. Inner Landscapes stands, within contemporary art, as a witness to this cultural sensibility, in which Belyaevskaya advances an aesthetics of vulnerability as a point of access to the collective, suggesting new ways of seeing, feeling, and inhabiting uncertainty.“
