Elena Guseva

«Canvas as a Mirror of the Soul and the Universe»

Elena Guseva, creative pseudonym "Elegusart" is a contemporary artist whose work is a kind of bridge between the individual inner world and the boundless depth of the Universe. The main concept of her work is a kind of ode to the French phrase and lifestyle "L'art de vivre" and becomes the embodiment of her boundless joy of being.

Elena's life began at the foot of the picturesque Ural Mountains (Russia, Sevenroyalsk, 1959), where in childhood, among the generous beauty of endless natural spaces, a deep attachment to beauty and aesthetics arose. Her passion was supported and encouraged in the family from an early attentive contemplation of the surrounding world, art, literature and music.

This love for original details, from the grace of flowers to the grace of ballerinas, later became the foundation of her art education at the city art school and subsequent training in the private studio of the famous professional artist Viktor Vorobyov. A parallel passion for literature and librarianship only enriched her perception of the world, adding semantic multi-layeredness to her works.
