Native of Ukraine,but now residing in Vancouver, Canada, Elena received a degree in the History of Art and Design from Lviv Academy. She has been a professional artist since 1985 extensively traveling, working and exhibiting her work throughout Europe and North America. She has been 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 a Slavonic Icon, one of her favorite subjects in early works, continue to evoke feeling and memories of old times. Elena is a master at depicting familiar surroundings but by way of suggestions and citations. She succeeds in expressing a deeply felt sense of unity and wholessness, balancing colour, form and composition. The consequences of this process are proven to be powerful yet elusive.
