Elena was born in URSS (Volgograd) 14 Dicembre 1967, but from 2000 she lives in Italy.
Even if she was always an artist... she started a real painting in 2020. Since childhood she have been drawing and participated in various drawing competitions. She painted posters, school newspapers, various school objects... But she never went to an art school...
At the age of 50 she started to think about her old wish... She began to think that she would really like to paint. And it so happened that it was during the pandemic lockdown 2020 when she started to study on the painting courses, online first.
Elena has presented her personal painting exhibition at the Termal center of Rimini at 2021, organized different collective exhibitions and one-night art-show at tourist centre of Rimini.
Elena is a member of different associations of artists in Italy and Russia.
Elena (ED) continues to realize her deep desire to create. Desire to make the world more beautiful with colorful paintings, full of positive energy. Elena creates her own world, where, as in the kaleidoscope, colorful drawings are formed around a more or less realistic subject. Painting with acrylics or oil, he creates a storm of colors and emotions, trying to bring good mood everywhere ...
ED actively participates in exhibitions in Italy and abroad. Artist has also become known as a good organizer of art exhibitions, organizing a beautiful international event "12 months of joy" in November-December 2022 in Rimini.
