Flora Painting

I'm Elena Starova, artist, sculptor, graphic artist, fashion designer, Place birth Gatchina Leningradskaya. region 24. 04.1976. I live and work in St. Petersburg. By education I am a sculptor, and for some time I was engaged in sculpture. Now I am engaged in graphics and painting. Works are made on cardboard pastel pastels and acrylic on canvas. Being engaged in sculpture, I always lacked color. Once I realized that I could compensate for the lack of color and light in painting. Combine volume, monumentality and color on canvas. Perhaps that is why in the last works I use clean and bright colors. This series of works, I called the “Manifesto to the inmost“. It is dedicated to male and female figures. An exciting search for differences in the plastic of the male and female bodies. Volume, space, monumentality. Different perception of the world around. That intimate that happens between two people. The sculpture greatly influenced my paintings and graphic works. Inspired by the sculpture of ancient Greece. Creativity Phidias, Scopas. Age of the Renaissance: Michelangelo, Donatello. Sculpture Mayol, Rodin. Technique pastels and color decision suggested artists impressionists. Degas, Renoir, Ego Sile.
