Ekaterina Aristova is a Russian and French artist born in Moscow in 1986 and living in Paris since 2009. Her works have been exhibited in Paris, Rome, Madrid and online in New York. Her art is featured in Le Quotidien de l'Art, Beaux Arts Magazine and many other publications. In spring 2024, her work "Svistoplyaska (Study in Red)" was sold by Christie's for 4.7 times its high estimate.
Aristova's works explore spirituality, the paths of life, and deep emotions. Beaux Arts Magazine called her a painter of the soul . Aristova drew from the work of her compatriots De Staël, Kandinsky, and Rothko a philosophy and energy that make her work extremely personal, where abstraction and figuration coexist with complicity.
Aristova, author of a monograph "Unconscious Art: Manifesto of the Soul" , founded the approach of unconscious art to present to the spectators her deepest sensitivity. The chaotic abstraction of the first phase of her work, executed blindfolded , under the influence of the music she chose, takes shape and meaning when she removes her blindfold and reveals in the second phase the nature of the emotion that inhabited her a moment before. Each work translates an absolute truth about a facet of her soul, without the artist herself being able to know it in advance.
