ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Year of creation: 2019 Water is one of the most mysterious substances on earth. Its depths hide millions of mysteries and unknown worlds. Without it the very existence of humankind would be impossible, but at the same time it is the power that is able to wipe off entire cities. The one that obeys, and the one that is impossible to conquer. The one that is easy to control while filling the glass, and the one that being not conquered brings down huge waves. It is this duality and variety of forms that has always fascinated and attracted me. Duality is also inherent to human beings. I have always dreamt of seeing the ocean, and here, standing on the Atlantic coast, and feeling all this power of crashing waves, I found the peace I was looking for. This picture was created during a very difficult period of my life, a time of change. At that very turning point in my life, when everything inside shouts and calls for action, and thoughts feverishly rush, sometimes preventing me from sleeping like waves in a raging ocean. At that time I tried to step out of my comfort zone, where it was easy and comfortable to live, and plunge into a completely new world with a thousand new worlds, completely unknown to me. To take new forms, to look for new ways. To destroy the walls of my restraining glass. It was during this period of my life that I began to study Buddhism and read a lot of books, which influenced the image of the picture. In the picture I draw a parallel between the image of the ocean and the inner world of a person. And at that decisive moment, standing on the shore of my ocean, I felt that my storm had subsided...

Hello guys! My name is Elena Polak and I'm an artist. My second education is as a psychologist. And I like to dive into myself and experience emotions, capturing them on canvases. I like Studying and working with the unconscious, this is how the collection of works was born "Mystical worlds of the unconscious". And I am still replenishing it. The theme of my work is analyzing feelings and emotions. I attempt to express them with colors and images. I draw feelings. For me, art is a way to talk while being silent. A way to shout across continents, and sometimes, without going beyond my art studio, to cross borders. Art admits no borders, they don't exist. My work is an opportunity to talk to people and be understood without even knowing their language. Creativity is my freedom. It’s freedom of soul and body. Art is not just a reflection of reality. It can create its own reality. Don't think that you understand nothing (very little). The point is to experience the sensations caused by the work of art. In our world full of stress, we haven't looked inside ourselves for so long that sometimes we hide our feelings deep inside until it becomes a problem. In my work, I try to show that it's okay to have feelings. I study all facets of feelings and sensations, listening to society and myself, looking deep inside myself and getting the most secret feelings, emotions and, experiences. I try to avoid precise images in my work, simplify forms and often use silhouettes, convey emotions through colors, leaving room for imagination and let the viewer feel and accept the painting. I am inspired by life itself, by the diversity and interweaving of emotions and situations whether they are negative or positive. Life is beautiful and it is the most valuable gift we have ever received.
