Elena is an academically trained painter and illustrator graduated from Moscow State Academy of Print (1991-97, MA in Fine Art Honour with distinction). She has exhibited widely since 1996 in number of shows, galleries and museums. Including NCCA and Brunel museum. Her paintings and woodcuts are held in many private and some public collections around the world. She lives and works in London. Rare birds and beautiful sadness best describes Elena’s work last year. Her research takes us to The Boragaon landfill in Guwahati with the series ‘Hargila’, the local name for the endangered Marabou storks. The last survival habitat of their small colony has been turned into a giant disposal site. The storks, alongside local children, are working to reduce the dump. Elena, as her way of compassion, is vivifying this devastating wasteland by transforming it into beautiful landscape of self-cleaning mud volcanos, in hopes of the wetland’s recovery. Elena continues work on endangered birds, this year she presents Blakisnton’s Fish Owl in ‘Bubo’s Dream’. Other works yield personal sadness. Melancholia of an inevitable End is the subject matter for ‘Celestial relations’ series, whereas a fear of endlessness is hidden inside Kitsune’s skin in xylography ‘When is Enough?’.
