Elena Ilku

Born: 1962 in Lviv, Ukraine
Residence: Vancouver, Canada
Professional artist since 1985

Elena is a master at depicting familiar surroundings by way of suggestions and citations. She succeeds in expressing a deeply felt sense of unity and wholeness, balancing colour, form and composition. The results of this process are proven to be powerful yet elusive.

Degree in Art History and Design from Lviv Academy (1985)
