About

Asia Ushakova is an artist and sculptor working with ceramics, bronze, stone, and other materials. At the heart of her practice is an exploration of form, the human figure, and structures found in nature. Her work combines sculptural expressiveness with a sense of calm, natural simplicity, and inner balance.

Asia began her professional artistic education in Kazan. In 2001, she entered the N. I. Feshin Kazan Art College, one of Russia’s oldest art schools, where she studied sculpture. She graduated in 2006 and continued her professional education in Moscow.

In 2007, Asia entered the Sculpture Faculty of the Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V. I. Surikov at the Russian Academy of Arts. Six years of academic training, completed in 2013, gave her a deep understanding of form, proportion, composition, and material, establishing the foundation for her artistic career.

Working with clay, stone, marble, and bronze, Asia gradually developed her own sculptural language. Her sculptures have been presented in exhibitions, and her professional work led to participation in international sculpture symposiums. Experience with a wide range of materials allowed her to combine the traditions of academic sculpture with a freer exploration of form, texture, and space.

Today, the natural landscape of Utah has become an important source of inspiration for Asia. Mountain landscapes, changing light, natural textures, and organic forms find their way into her contemporary ceramics and sculpture. Her work retains a strong sculptural presence while conveying a sense of lightness, simplicity, and tranquility.

Through her work, Asia seeks to create more than a decorative object. She creates forms that interact with the space around them. Her sculptures and ceramics become part of an interior, bringing individuality, artistic depth, and a connection to the natural world.
