Anastasiya Kostyuk is a Belarus-born artist based in Sweden whose practice is shaped by classical training and a distinctly international outlook. Working primarily with oil painting, she explores realism as a living, evolving language - one that allows technical discipline and emotional nuance to coexist.

Her work was selected as a finalist of the Moments of Life 2025 competition, where her ability to combine compositional precision with subtle narrative depth stood out among international submissions.
