This one-of-a-kind original mixed media artwork is made in high quality oil, acrylic and structure paste on canvas board, 24x30 cm (9.4 x 11.8 in). Varnished with protective gloss acrylic varnish and signed at the back and front. It will be shipped using a highly secure packing method, in a sturdy cardboard box, carefully protected with multiple layers of bubble wrap. The artwork belongs to the series "Cats and Greece: in reality and dreams". A glimpse of a beautiful day in Greece through the eyes of a cat. In this mixed media painting, the silhouette of a seated cat serves as a charming window into the picturesque landscape of Santorini. Within the contours of the feline form, an enchanting scene unfolds in oil—a depiction of the island´s iconic church top, a large pot brimming with vibrant flowers, the serene sea, and distant mountains against a backdrop of clear blue sky. The cat shape frames this delightful panorama, inviting you to get immersed in the beauty within. Contrastingly, I have used structure paste and acrylic paint in a warm terracotta hue outside the silhouette, to create a textural and vibrant boundary that enhances the dynamic quality of the composition. The media I use as an artist vary from acrylics to oils, from smooth to rough textures - but the message is the same: sticking with the timeless is the ultimate recipe for happiness. Celebrate the here and now, be fully present in the moment. This is a very simple yet powerful philosophy that I am trying to transmit through my works.

ARTIST BIO A professional translator, psychologist, and an avid traveler, Elena has always been fascinated by what is over there beyond the horizon. When in the year 2020 the everyday reality was squeezed between the walls of one´s home by the pandemic, she felt a strong urge to create her own traveling destinations – on canvas, using first acrylic and later oil paints. Since then it has been an exciting creative journey into the wonderful realm of land-, sea-, city- and countryscapes, through extensive practicing via numerous online tutorials and later en plein air. Elena´s big passion is Greece, the land she first visited many years ago. The future artist immediately fell in love with its breathtaking views, vibrant colors, gentle sea, unique architecture, kind-hearted people, deep spirituality, and the ever-present gatoules – cats. She likes to include these cute creatures, the unofficial symbol of the country, into her creative works in different forms, shapes and sizes. Another important symbol of Greece, the impressive Eastern Orthodox churches, are also often present in her paintings. Being a self-taught artist with a strong calling, Elena highly appreciates the transformative power of art which can brighten the mundanity of life. Her professional psychological background helps her create harmonious color combinations and dreamy moods that lift the viewers above daily anxieties and caringly bring them to safe and happy places. Thus, a kind of healing therapy is provided via her painted works. ARTIST STATEMENT Carpe Diem Once I was told that my name means “shining light” in Greek language. It is an absolute joy and a great honor for me to see people lighten up while looking at my paintings. The media and techniques I use as an artist vary from acrylics to oils, from smooth to rough textures - but the message is always the same: sticking with the timeless is the ultimate recipe for happiness. Celebrate the here and now, be fully present in the moment: no sadness from the past, no worries about the future. This is a very simple yet powerful philosophy I´m trying to transmit through my works. I will feel truly fulfilled if my paintings help bringing out the elusive yet omnipresent harmony of the world in your eyes, heart and soul.
