Outside the limits Painting

Elena Dorofeeva is a contemporary Russian painter based in Canada. Driven by a constant influx of images and emotions, she feels compelled to bring them to life on canvas and share her creations with the audience. Her artistic journey is a multifaceted exploration of various facets of life, drawing inspiration from architecture, fashion, history, psychology, and diverse social spheres. Dorofeeva's art transcends the boundaries of the conscious mind, delving into the realm of the subconscious. Her works offer an abstract perspective on the world, often stemming from a vision of an object or subject. When creating, she simplifies shapes while intensifying colors, infusing unnatural brightness into her compositions. Employing a range of art materials, including canvas, cardboard, plywood, and paper, she adds texture to her paintings using soft oil pastels and employs techniques like dry brushing and pointwise hammering of acrylic paint. Central to Elena Dorofeeva's artistic philosophy is the idea of allowing viewers to delve into their own feelings, build associations, and rekindle deep memories when they observe her artwork. She eschews conveying a specific message, preferring to grant absolute freedom to her audience in interpreting the subjects before them. The overarching goal of her art is to evoke something profoundly individual within each viewer, fostering a personal and unrestricted connection to the visual narratives she creates.
