Elina Zelena

Elina is a budding professional artist from Ukraine. She graduated from Odessa National University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree and majored in graphic design. Then she studied in graduate school, writing a scientific work dedicated to book illustration.
The artist has extensive experience in working with various techniques and materials. Her expressive handwriting has always been distinguished by an excellent sense of color and sensitive attention to detail. Most of the paintings are devoted to the study of the diversity of female beauty and flowers. In her paintings, the artist strives to convey not only physical features, but also an emotional state, using expressive lines of the body, weaving in airy strands of hair and collecting pastel tones of colors. When working with oil paint, she prefers lively texture painting. With refined jewelry movements, Elina seems to be embroidering the surface of the canvas with paints.
The artist's works can be found in private collections in many countries around the world: the USA, Canada, Great Britain, Ukraine, France, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Japan, China and Australia.
