Elena Kachalova

My name is Elena. I am an artist based in Dubai, creating works that explore beauty, emotion, and timeless aesthetics. My practice includes painting and drawing etc.,from figurative to more contemporary and expressive approaches.

With many years of experience, I focus on capturing depth, individuality, and atmosphere in each artwork. My aim is to create pieces that invite viewers into an intimate dialogue — works that resonate both visually and emotionally.

I’m still learning and will remain in this process throughout my life. I believe one should always study, and in art there are no limits to growth or mastery.

Nevertheless, here are some of the educational experiences I have completed so far:
• Academic Drawing & Portrait Courses, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra Art School
• Classical Portraiture Workshop, private studio program
• Painting & Illustration Techniques, International Art Courses
• Graphic Design & Composition, Creative Institute
• Advanced Workshops with Contemporary Artists (selected international programs)

• Solo Exhibition, Lenin Square, Donetsk
• Solo Exhibition, cultural venue opening, Donetsk
• Participation in several online exhibitions, Kyiv
• Independent Exhibition, Corsica

• Winner of the City’s Best Artist Competition (two-stage contest), Donetsk
• Showcased works across various independent and online platforms
• National Exhibition dedicated to the 50th Anniversary of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai
• World Art Dubai, 2024 — represented the United Arab Emirates
