Anastasia 

Fernanda Suarez created this digital painting titled 'Anastasia' during the 20th Century. Suarez reimagines the lost Romanov princess with a modern, yet timeless gaze. The original Anastasia was a casualty of the Russian revolution, a cataclysmic event that redrew the lines of class, power, and identity. Suarez seems to ask, what if Anastasia had survived? What would she look like today? Here, Anastasia is adorned with subtle markers of royalty, such as her golden necklace, yet is dressed in the garb of a commoner. This allows her to blend into contemporary society, while never letting us forget who she is. The contrast evokes the push and pull between inherited identity and self-made identity, while reflecting the ongoing societal fascination with princesses, fairy tales, and the stories of women that history attempts to erase. 'Anastasia' is not just a portrait, it is a conversation about survival, reinvention, and the enduring power of the past.
