As Elena Done, a contemporary painter, my work is rooted in the tension between abstraction and figuration, where the boundaries between form and formlessness blur, inviting the viewer into an intense, often chaotic visual experience. I am fascinated by the fluidity of paint itself, its ability to evoke both visceral emotion and fleeting moments of narrative. My brushstrokes are deliberate yet spontaneous, capturing the raw energy of human existence, sexuality, and mortality, often drawing on art history, from the Masters of Russian avant-garde to Abstract Expressionism, as I reinterpret those traditions through a modern lens.
I approach the canvas as a space for exploration, where the body and landscape intermingle and dissolve. The ambiguity of my work reflects the complexity of perception, where the familiar and the unfamiliar coexist in a constant state of flux. Figures emerge and retreat within layers of color and texture, hinting at stories that remain just out of reach. This push and pull between revelation and concealment speaks to the way we experience the world — fragmented, elusive, and intensely alive.

MARVELOUS REALISM
The “Magic of Andalucía”, colourful flowers, tropical gardens, fabrics of flamenco dancers, spices of Morocco…. Culture is a mixture of Iberic, Roman, Visigoth, Arabic and Spanish roots. An honest translation of “Paradise”.
I have found myself relating with the term “Paradise”, from an idealist’s representation of “Paradise” to an everyday perception of smaller “paradises” of my heroes and their dreams.
I paint with thick pastose strokes to make each painting more profound, more “tangible”.
Texture is important to me, I can put as many as 7 layers with the purpose of creating depth, this depth expresses a unique personality and the aura of a living thing. This also means that every time you look at my painting – you will see different facets: - glimpses of light and color…….in my point of view, what it is all about.
The style that I paint this series can be called Marvellous Realism, I combine figurative painting with decorative elements, with ornaments. Each painting is a combination of life and artifacts, a real girl silhouette and Moroccan décor or tile, real flowers and plants and decorative flower ornament on fabrics. My marvellous realism It is not a fantasy, it is not a fiction, it is combination of a very original figurative and magical decorative context all together.

Silhouettes
You can access artist’s inspiration from the celebrations, dance events, ferias, festivals taking place in Andalucía, Spain
These feminine silhouettes were picked up in Sevilla, Granada and Malaga. Whirls of colors, passion, movements, happiness, fatigue, drama. Girls could be professional flamenco dancers or just models, dressed in traditional Spanish dresses.
The technique of this series is gouache and pastel over Canson paper. Drawings are made quickly as sketches, just to pick up a silhouette. And pastel strokes in several layers give the artworks depts and vibrancy.

Biografia
Elena Done, uma artista espanhola contemporânea, está profundamente imersa na exploração do diálogo matizado entre figuras retratadas de forma realista e fundos dinâmicos, abstratos ou decorativos. A sua expressão artística é uma tela para transmitir experiências e emoções interiores, predominantemente através da representação de imagens femininas.
Guiada por um conjunto de valores fundamentais, Elena identifica Paixão, Energia, Curiosidade, Variedade, Alegria, Dignidade e Fantasia como as forças motrizes por trás de seus esforços criativos. Paixão e Dignidade encontram sua expressão no reino figurativo, onde o amor de Elena pelas pessoas é evidente, e a forma humana ocupa o centro das atenções como seu tema favorito e mais intrigante.
A energia permeia o processo artístico de Elena, evidente no uso de pinceladas grossas e pastosas que criam uma textura rica. Camada sobre camada, até sete em alguns casos, acrescenta profundidade aos seus trabalhos, criando uma personalidade única e uma aura que dá vida a cada peça. Cores vivas e vibrantes são uma marca registrada de sua arte, refletindo a atmosfera viva e energizada da paisagem espanhola.
No mundo artístico de Elena, a Fantasia assume a forma de Realismo Maravilhoso. Ela combina habilmente pintura figurativa com elementos decorativos, integrando perfeitamente ornamentos em suas composições. Este Realismo Maravilhoso não é mera ficção; em vez disso, é uma fusão intrincada de elementos figurativos originais e contextos decorativos mágicos. Os elementos ornamentais tornam-se partes integrantes da composição, entrelaçando-se no enredo e no tema, criando uma mistura harmoniosa de realidade e encanto nas cativantes obras de arte de Elena Done.

These bright Spanish colors and shapes are charming. I saw Elena’s works at an exhibition in Barcelona, they look even brighter and more joyful in person. Elena herself is a positive and cheerful person. Amazing.
