Life

Anna Bogouchevskaia is the daughter of the sculptor couple Ninel Boguschewskaja (1923–1987) and Daniel Mitljanski (1924–2006). At the age of nine, Anna began art training at the Moscow Central Art School, initially with ballet and figure skating. But she soon discovered her love for sculptural design and studied sculpture at the Surikow Art Institute in Moscow from 1985–1991 . After graduating and joining the Moscow Artists Association, she received a scholarship from the Russian Art Academy for further artistic support and was a master student of Professor Vladimir Yefimovich Zigal . During this time Anna Bogouchevskaia designed mainly human figures based on classical models such as the thorn extractor or Paris , mostly from clay. She then got the opportunity to accompany her father to international exhibitions and thus gained her own first experiences. A sponsored six-month stay in Barcelona , where she created several works, was particularly significant . She initially used the world of puppets and the theater as a subject . She herself names Marino Marini , Amedeo Modigliani , Charles Despiau and Gerhard Marcks as formative artistic role models . Back in Moscow, she began to sculpt her sculptures in plaster to translate them into the more permanent bronze . This also enabled more detailed representations. In 1994, together with her father and Andreï Asseriants, she was invited to take part in an art project for the museum at Checkpoint Charlie .

Then she moved to Berlin that same year and joined the Association of Visual Artists . Since then she has been working here as a freelancer , taking part in art competitions and exhibitions.

She won first prize in a competition for the creation of lost figures from the listed fairytale fountain in Von-der-Schulenburg-Park in Berlin-Neukölln . 16 bronze putti were melted down during the last world war and should now be replaced. There were only poor photo templates and so, after studying the subject and inspecting the existing parts of the fountain, Bogouchevskaia suggested funny guys who took up the topic of fairy tales as well as forests and animals. New putti, 25 centimeters high, were created based on their templates and plaster models. With their installation on the columns of the fountain pavilion, the ornamental fountain, which was restored in 2001, was complete again.

In addition to specific commissioned works, Bogouchevskaia has participated in private and publicly funded art exhibitions.
