Anastasia Koronskaya’s Urban Paintings Feel Like Psychological Architecture
Anastasia Koronskaya is a St. Petersburg painter whose work builds a personal universe of futuristic megacities, industrial structures, bridges, and dreamlike urban landscapes. Her paintings combine architectural precision with expressive, atmospheric brushwork, often shifting between realism, abstraction, and noir-like mood.
Koronskaya describes her practice as a self-made universe filled with houses in the clouds, stretched cables, mountain-like buildings, and constructed cityscapes. The city is presented almost as a psychological space: lonely, immersive, and shaped by internal states rather than documentary reality. Public project notes also mention virtual maquettes and compositional research, which suggests a highly planned, world-building approach.

Her paintings often focus on monumental forms, night or rainy atmospheres, and architectural fantasy. Reviews describe the work as balancing rigid geometry with emotional depth, where urban structures feel both permanent and fragile. The result is a distinctive blend of futurism, solitude, and painterly density.
