Whether it&#8217;s painting on canvas or silk, I&#8217;ve always experimented with new materials and techniques to add different dimensions to my works. I get joy from light and colour and aspire to share this with any person who takes an interest in my works and by capturing their attention my works can create pleasure. In addition to the palette and juxtaposition of colours, often\u00a0 a distinctive feature of my works is the inclusion of whimsical patterns and ornaments with which I aspire to convey some thoughts as well as mood within my paintings. Ultimately, this is my task as an artist:- to paint the world in bright colours and patterns and create joy in another&#8217;s mind.<\/p>\n<p>Education<\/p>\n<p>2007 &#8211; 2010 Salford University, Salford UK :- Visual Arts BA(Hons.)<\/p>\n<p>2005 &#8211; 2007 Mancat (Manchester College), Manchester UK:-Foundation Course Visual Art<\/p>\n<p>1983 &#8211; 1990 Moscow University, Moscow Russia:-Domestic and Industrial Architecture<\/p>\n<p>1979 &#8211; 1983 Moscow Technology College, Moscow Russia<\/p>\n<p>Exhibitions<\/p>\n<p>Elena&#8217;s works have been included in the following recent exhibitions:-<\/p>\n<p>2021 Laureate of XXVII International Exhibition &amp; Competition Moscow Russian Art Week<\/p>\n<p>2017-2021\u00a0 Great Sheffield Art Show<\/p>\n<p>2013-2020 St Gemma&#8217;s Hospice, the annual Leeds Art Exhibition<\/p>\n<p>2012 Didsbury Pasonage Trust, Personal Art Exhibition<\/p>\n<p>2012 Stockport Art Gallery<\/p>\n<p>2011 Sheffield Open Art Exhibition<\/p>\n<p>2010 Comalford\u00a0 Gallery &#8216;Brit Art&#8217; group exhibition, Photograph.<\/p>\n<p>2010 Russian Centre, &#8216;Russian with Love&#8217;, Painting.<\/p>\n<p>2010 Museum, &#8216;Narrative Salford&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>2009 Macerate Art Academy Italy, &#8216; Terra Crutta-Terra Cotta&#8217;, Painting and Sculpture.<\/p>\n<p>2009 Cow Gallery Manchester, Painting and Sculpture.<\/p>\n<p>2008 Emerging Artists Series, group exhibition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Elena My works\u00a0 are inspired by colour in a kind of mix, a cocktail that includes elements from photography, sculpture and painting.
