About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Gouache

The substances are diluted with water and rendered pasty and opaque by the addition of gum and honey. The colors become opaque and can, therefore, be superimposed, which makes one paint with gouache as with oil. The gouache is recommended by its bright, fresh and delicate tones.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

Elena Done, a contemporary Spanish artist,[...]

Elena Done, a contemporary Spanish artist, is deeply immersed in the exploration of the nuanced dialogue between realistically depicted figures and dynamic, abstract, or decorative backgrounds. Her artistic expression is a canvas for conveying inner experiences and emotions, predominantly through the portrayal of female images.

Guided by a set of core values, Elena identifies Passion, Energy, Curiosity, Variety, Joy, Dignity, and Fantasy as the driving forces behind her creative endeavors. Passion and Dignity find their expression in the figurative realm, where Elena's love for people is evident, and the human form takes center stage as her favorite and most intriguing subject.

Energy permeates Elena's artistic process, evident in her use of thick, pastose strokes that create a rich texture. Layer upon layer, up to seven in some instances, adds depth to her works, crafting a unique personality and an aura that breathes life into each piece. Bright, vibrant colors are a hallmark of her art, reflecting the lively and energized atmosphere of the Spanish landscape.

In Elena's artistic world, Fantasy takes the form of Marvellous Realism. She skillfully combines figurative painting with decorative elements, seamlessly integrating ornaments into her compositions. This Marvellous Realism is not mere fiction; instead, it is an intricate fusion of original figurative elements and magical decorative contexts. The ornamental elements become integral parts of the composition, weaving into the plot and subject matter, creating a harmonious blend of reality and enchantment in Elena Done's captivating artworks.
