Elena Balla

Hello World!
My name is Elena and I am an architect by profession. Nevertheless, I consider art my calling. So, in the afternoon, I’m a humble office worker, and in the night, an artist. I’m Russian, but I live in one of most beautiful cities of Eastern Europe: Budapest. Traveling is my second passion after art. It’s always so inspiring! That’s why my favorite theme is city or nature landscapes. I also like to work on portraits, picturing flowers and animals.
My favorite techniques are oil on canvas, watercolor and silk or textile painting. I've lately started with jeans painting. And I think it's a great possibility to bring art into everyday life. Wear the painting on yourself!
I hope you’ll like my art.

I was raised in Crimea, where I finished the art school in 1999. I was graduated from the Crimean academy of environmental building and resort development in 2006 with a diploma in architecture. There, among other classes, I studied drawing, painting and sculpture.

When I moved to Budapest, I became more serious about art, my personal exhibitions were held here. But after I became a mother, I had less time, and therefore (and because of sales) I do not have time to accumulate enough paintings for the exhibition .
