Anastasia Matsueva: "Music and dance have always been an inspiring combination for me, and I find echoes of them in sculpture. The same movements, rhythms, and emotions, whether of animals or people. I've always been interested in animalistic subjects, fairy tales, and dreams in my work. I have a special love for horses and used to ride. These wonderful animals are present in my major thesis and in many other compositions."
