Diptych, two miniatures: orange sunset on a lake and in the Mexican desert Print

My name is Elena Malikova (Elen Malva) I am an artist. It's really nice to meet you. I was born in 1971 in a tiny Siberian hamlet. Since childhood, I have had a subtle sense of beauty, loved ballet, classical music, poetry and, of course, painting. I put my creative abilities in a practical direction. I was designing clothes and shoes. Part of it gave me satisfaction, but something was missing. I was looking for an opportunity to more broadly, more fully express my inner world, an opportunity to express the feelings that fill the soul. Thus I came to painting already at a conscious age, experiencing an acute need for self-expression. My works is a way to show the world my feelings. Moreover, I help to create happiness by infusing moments of joy in everyday lives. My entire works is permeated by a positive aura and energy. Every day I create my own picture of the world! I am inspired by the world around me, I love nature and the natural elements very much. I see magic in everything around me. I draw with acryl and to use different tools for creating pictures. I really like to work with a palette knife. My works are basically colorful and pasty. My arts are my world, my soul! My artistic works are the surrounding world reflected in my feelings.
