I started traveling in search of new experiences. I hitchhiked and rode a motorcycle a lot. Traveled to Kazakhstan, Russia, China and Southeast Asia, India, Turkey. During my travels I never parted with my paints. Sensations, emotions and a different view of the world, accumulated during travel, are reflected in Elena’s paintings. The calling card of the young artist is the brightness of colors, rich colors, and special attention to detail.Fascinated by the ideas of surrealism, she creates works filled with scenes from the world of fantasy, dreams, subconscious associations; they are filled with many objects, each of which carries meaning. The paintings were painted in different parts of the globe, during travel. In her works, Elena uses oil, iridescent oil, watercolors, acrylic and fluorescent acrylic. It is thanks to this that the effect of luminous paints is achieved.
