Anastasia Georgievskaya
Anastasia Georgievskaya follows the trajectory of interdisciplinary art, an approach drawn from her experience as both a psychologist and an artist. Personal events in her life were the initial point of reference for her visual research, and she currently focuses on total installations that include art objects, paintings, graphics, and video art. Influenced by her experiences in Sri Lanka and the birth of her son there in 2014, she began Second Childhood — which started as a personal story and self-analysis of memory and has since grown into an international interdisciplinary art project. In fifteen years of an active exhibition career she has taken part in more than 50 art shows globally, including the International Biennale of Contemporary Art, and has worked in various international art residencies. In her work she looks at the culture of a country through the experience of motherhood and childhood.

Second Childhood by Anastasia Georgievskaya is a contemplative exploration of motherhood and childhood examined through the lens of contemporary art. Drawing from multiple cultural contexts, Georgievskaya investigates how the experience of nurturing and being nurtured shapes identity across generations. The work considers the cyclical nature of caregiving — how becoming a parent often triggers a "second childhood" in which one's own earliest memories and inherited cultural practices resurface. Through visual art and personal narrative, the piece examines how lullabies serve as a connective thread between the caregiver's past and the child's present, creating a continuous loop of cultural transmission.
