Elena Sanina

Painting for me is an opportunity to admire and share the diversity of our world.

I am fascinated by the idea of being the guide to everything beautiful. I want to transfer everything to the canvas: the tenderness of the evening, the serene face of a sleeping child, the subtlety and vulnerability of flowers, wet March snow. I want people to feel the beauty and fleetingness of the moment, the completeness of everything that exists . I wish they create and live consciously every moment.

Depending on the story that captured me, I work in different techniques - watercolor, oil, pastel ... And in different genres - landscape, still life, portrait.

I work a lot in the open air, I write mostly with oil, but my passion is capricious watercolor, it reveals me depths and the shades of a human soul and teaches me to be surprised!

I teach the basics of fine arts for children, this process gives me a fresh and unexpected look at many familiar things, which is very valuable for a creative person.

I graduated from the Voronezh Art School.
