Elina Evstig

I've been engaged in making art since 2012 and work as a freelance artist since 2015. I paint in oils using Liquin as a medium and my main aesthetic driving force is realism combined with abstract techniques. My true passion is rooted in the depiction of people, especially women and children portraits, which is a tribute to my childhood in a dysfunctional family and an attempt to capture what resonates with me now as an adult.

The most valuable figures in the art world that helped me think and work in a way I do, are Alex Kanevsky, Jenny Saville and Sally Gabori.
