Biography

    Elena was born and raised in Novokuznetsk, a city in Siberia, where life was simple, but her imagination had no limits. From a young age, she found joy and freedom in art. Noticing her creative spark, her father enrolled her in the city's Art School—an inspiring hub run by working artists who provided not only guidance but also all the art supplies needed. It was there, in a place that celebrated individuality and expression, that Elena’s artistic soul began to flourish.

Growing up during the political and economic turmoil of Perestroika, Elena found solace in her creative world. Her favorite teacher, Sergey Nikolaevich Yakunin, left a lasting impression with his passion and dedication to both art and teaching.

In the early 2000s, Elena immigrated to the United States and began building the life she had always dreamed of. Nine years ago, she fulfilled a long-held goal by moving to Florida. Surrounded by beaches, parks, and radiant sunsets, she finds endless inspiration in the natural beauty around her.

In 2024, she joined the Mastery Art Program at the Milan Art Institute, a transformative experience that helped her to break through fears and limitations to find her true voice as an artist. Creating art allows Elena to reconnect with her inner child, to feel joy, and to transcend space and time. Her work is rooted in a belief that we are all meant to rise above challenges and live life fully, creatively, and fearlessly.

I believe that visual art holds a profound ability to heal, inspire, and empower. It speaks directly to the heart, creating an immediate emotional connection that resonates deeply within the viewer. Through my work, I strive to capture the mystery and beauty of the world, translating it into imagery that brings joy, reflection, and a renewed sense of wonder.

My mission is to help people reconnect with their inner child—the part of us that believes in magic, sees the world with awe, and dares to dream freely. I see art as a bridge to emotional restoration: a quiet yet powerful way to touch the soul and awaken what may have been lost. I hold a deep belief that healing is always possible, no matter the wounds we carry from our past.

It is my hope that each piece in my collection offers comfort, light, and transformation to those who encounter it.
