Elena is a follower of creation of paintings (plein-air) in the open air, which allows you to see and transfer the energetic colors of nature, which is revealed under the influence of a light-air environment. Elena’s creative work is characterized by fullness of light and air, picturesqueness, special transparency of the palette, integrity. To solve visual problems, the artist chooses oil painting on canvas. During the work, the feeling of depth and sonorousness of the paint layer is indescribable. Exactly with oil paints you can create unusual complex mixtures. Also, oil painting can be multi-layered. From under the final glaze the lower layers shine. All art-activity was formed and located in the same creative space with artists, architects, students, art lovers. The activities of Elena Hlavenchuk have been repeatedly marked by exhibition committees, competition jury, educational, social, charitable, and volunteer organizations.
