Elena moved to Squamish, Canada, B.C. from Moscow, Russia in November 2014. She has always been enchanted by masterpieces of great painters: Caravaggio and his dramatic use of lighting, mood landscapes by Isaak Levitan and Arkhip Kuindzhi, amazing Bernini’s sculptural narrative.

 

It wasn’t until she took part in an Intuitive Painting workshop in 2011 that she  started to envision herself as a painter. Inspired by beautiful Russian sceneries she started painting Russian landscapes and beautiful nature scenes she encountered during her adventures abroad. The beauty of the sea, sunsets and sails has always fascinated her.

 

Recently Elena started exploring graphite drawings, learning more about different drawing techniques, playing with slight and dark families.
