Elena Sizikhina

I'm a classically trained Russian painter based in Vietnam. My work reflects a fusion of European academic tradition and Southeast Asian vibrancy. I paint tropical fruits, local scenery, and daily life, using oil on canvas and focusing on light, texture, and composition.

My artistic journey began in early childhood, studying traditional drawing and painting at a local art studio. I then completed a five-year academic fine arts program in Perm, Russia, where I studied under established artists and focused on classical painting techniques.

I later explored applied arts in depth — both as a creator and an instructor — teaching decorative techniques and handcrafts. To broaden my creative scope, I also completed specialized courses in airbrushing, digital art, and various experimental approaches.
