Jelena Nova

"I paint - to share and create good emotion, joy and positive feeling in anyone who sees my art. To lift people's spirits through beautiful and bright colors that I use."

I'm in love with color, bright, vivid, bold, color as a statement.
My main topics are something that involves a lot of patience and concentration - people's portraits and childhood images, dreams, kids' vision of the world and cats - everything about cats.
Sometimes happens that my ideas choose me to design or create them, that would involve them being stuck in my head for days , dragging me home to my desk and kicking me out of bed at 6 am... I like that though :)

I am very pleased and proud that my paintings are sold to private collectors in USA, Hungary, Italy, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, UK, UAE, Canada and Australia.
I am currently located in my home-town Tallinn, but I do like to travel a lot, to see myself from different perspective, to hunt for new ideas, visions, personalities and inspiration triggered by the mystery and secrets that new places hold.
