Hello, my name is Anastina -
My practice unfolds at the intersection of dance, performance and the visual arts, boundery of the body is the main subject to most of my work. I am captivated by the rythms I see around me, in the daily life: in the tension and the stretches. In the monumental, as well as in volatile movements and spaces inbetween.
I am an artist working between Reykjavík and Oslo, currently pursuing a research-based master’s program in performing arts at the Iceland Academy of the Arts (LhÍ). My current focus explores the commodification of labor, the body, and personal time, culminating in a performance piece premiering in Reykjavík in January 2026. I hold a BA in Sculpture from the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, Netherlands. My work examines the complex interplay between humans and the environment. Through my art, I seek to inspire change and invite audiences to rethink their connection with the natural world.
My works have been featured in numerous exhibitions and performances across international platforms. Notable exhibitions include at the Stedelijk Museum, Gallery Nest, as well as at the Doors Creative Studio in Amsterdam.
