About Yelena Revis

‘Painting is not what I do; it is who I am.’ Paintings that are best seen live. Photos just don't do them justice!! I'm a professional artist and art educator. The creation and refinement of my unique style has been something I've spent decades perfecting my craft and unique style with its whimsical humour, textural sensitivity and vibrant sense of colour. Although I'm a current resident of Sydney, Australia, I was born and raised in Omsk, Russia. As a result of this mixed culture, my aim has been to blend my eclectic background in European art, experiences, and classics with the fresh Australian colours of both life and nature I've come to find. I'm most passionate about painting and drawing and have been involved with the two since childhood. I've always loved the experience of losing myself in thought and diving into the world of art and imagination. This creative introspection allows me to produce art that is not only beautiful, but one-of-a-kind. I've been told again and again that this uncanny ability to illustrate the exceptional beauty of everyday life is what makes my artwork lovable. Throughout my career, I've accumulated a vast repertoire of artistic techniques that have allowed me to better illustrate my intentions as an artist. My aim is to create unforgettable works and impart a deep emotional connection between objects and human beings whenever I begin a new piece. As a result, most of my work conveys the synthesis between Eastern and Western art, the figurative and the abstract, and the real and imaginary. I have been featured in prominent art galleries and exhibitions in Russia, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Australia. As a result of my education and experience, my finely tuned mixed media techniques encompass numerous art forms such as acrylic, oil, watercolour, pastel, pencil, pen and ink, graphite, charcoal, etching, lithography and holography. I believe that my constant exposure to new ideas and types of art is what has allowed me to develop into the artist I am today. I am a passionate artist and my ultimate aim is to focus on the quality of my work rather that the quantity of it and impart a small piece of myself as an artist into each and every one of my creations. I have been featured in prominent art galleries and exhibitions in Russia, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Australia.
