My name is Elena Afanasieva. I'm a professional full-time artist. I have my own art studio in Irkutsk, Siberia Russia. I studied at the Krasnoyarsk Art Institute. I work in modern abstract impressionism style using oil and acrylics mainly on canvas and cardboard. Inspiration for me is my life, moments, sunrises, nature, music, the sea, shells. The unusual form of the shells inspired me to come up with a new author's crackle paint technique which conveys time and history. People like to watch the ocean, the sea, and everything connected with them, it gives peace. That's why my artworks are created in the marine theme. My artworks are in private collections in the USA, Germany, Austria, Montenegro, Russia. I have certificates of appreciation for my work. My students participate in international exhibitions. I work as an expert in accreditation commissions and take part as a member of the jury in exhibitions.
