A native of Ukraine, Elena received a Masters degree in History of Art and Design from Lviv Polygraphic Academy. She started her career as a professional artist in 1985, and since then has been extensively traveling, working and exhibiting her work
throughout Europe and North America. She continued her artistic education in France and the United Kingdom, which helped her to develop a unique style of painting.
She is producing work of great originality, in which there is a release of
emotion and a strangely captivating balance between abstraction and figuration. Still the signs and symbols of Slavonic icons, one of her favourite subjects in early works, continue to evoke feeling and memories of old times. She succeeds in expressing a
deeply felt sense of unity and wholeness, balancing colour, form and composition. The effect of this process is powerful yet elusive.
Elena currently lives and works in the lower mainland of British Columbia.
