Artist: Anna Samoylova (UK)

Anna Samoylova (b. in 1995), works and lives in London, UK. Anna Samoylova is a London-based multidisciplinary artist working across painting, embroidery, textile and fabric printmaking. Her practice is rooted in personal and intergenerational memory, focusing on how everyday objects, women's labour, and inherited objects hold and pass on intimate stories. She combines hand-stitching with print and paint on raw calico, approaching textile as both a material and an archival language. Her work investigates maternal experience and the objectification of the female body, presenting motherhood not as an idealised state but as a form of resistance to acceleration, disposability, and the invisibility of care labour. Samoylova has held solo exhibitions at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (2022), Haze Gallery in Berlin (2022), and Outhouse Gallery in London (2025). Her work has been shown internationally across the UK, France, Italy, UAE, and featured in publications including Vogue Russia and The Collector.
