Elena Vertikova

My art studio is located in Poland, at the foot of the Jizera Mountains. All of my works are inspired by nature. Here are some of my earlier works as well as my newer ones. Depending on the weather and the format of the canvas, I paint either in my studio or outdoors. I work in oil and watercolor. I graduated from the Faculty of Painting in Gdańsk, and in December 2025, I earned my PhD in Fine Arts there.
