This story tells the tale of one of the biggest mysteries that some say remains unsolved.
In 1918, the Imperial Russian family was executed in Yekaterinburg by the Bolsheviks. However, in 1922, a woman claimed to be the Grand Duchess who survived the execution, that she had escaped the terror. Her name was Anna Anderson. Unfortunately, her claims were later proven untrue when the real Anastasia’s remains were recovered in 2007.
For me, this story was part of my childhood. There have been books written about it, and it has been a major subject in the film industry.
My twin sister and I share a bond through our study of criminology. In 2019, I became aware of the true facts concerning Anastasia. I immediately began my research and created a collection of paintings for ‘The Romanovs’ exhibition here in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
