Elena Asseeva

"...The sketchy drawing and the pleasure of the simple narration - these are the dowries of the artist Elena Asseeva. The immediacy of these drawings has given to her artworks the "felliniane" atmosphere, oneiric and surreal, full of carnival and allegory. The style of the artist is adulterated and infantile at the same time, fairy and fantastic, full of mirrors and imagination. We can notice an affinity with the paintings of Marc Chagall, especially in the free and dreamy, full of illusions, language they both use..." (Daniele Radini Tedeschi, Professor of Art History, Art Critic, Curator, for the catalog of exhibition "Il Piacere" (Galleria Consorti, Rome, 2010))
