Batik is a traditional technique made famous by it’s use in the costume design for royal and aristocratic families in Java for many centuries and up to the present day. Originally, the Javanese Batik technique was considered a skill that could only be practised in a royal court and it became a symbol of Javanese feudalism. Any batik design is unique, because it is created by hand according to an original inimitable sketch, has a high cost, because it takes a lot of time to create the pattern on fabric, and uses expensive natural dyes and fabrics. On this particular work I'm use 100% natural silk and 9 carat gold lives as well.

Elena is an internationally exhibited artist, with works showcased at renowned platforms such as Saatchi Art and Artmajeur. She has been a member of the Eurasian Art Union since 2021 and the Professional Artists of Russia since 2019. Her distinctive artistic approach lies in the fusion of opposites—both in material and technique. Using natural silk, a material historically associated with luxury and exclusivity, and the traditional batik method, Elena contrasts these symbols of wealth with themes of poverty, isolation, and grief. This juxtaposition introduces a layer of artistic irony, adding depth and complexity to her pieces.

Graduating from Salford University, Elena continued her artistic research and experimentation, while also teaching painting and life drawing. Her mastery of batik, both in its hot and cold techniques, extends beyond her own work, as she also gives lessons and masterclasses in this historic medium. Batik, once a privilege of the Javanese royal courts and now emblematic in luxury fashion (such as Hermes scarves), holds a deep cultural significance, which Elena recon textualizes in her modern, thought-provoking works.

Additionally, Elena holds certificates in art therapy and colour therapy, allowing her to use art not only for self-expression but also as a healing tool. Her unique perspective, blending architectural education with in-depth knowledge of visual arts, makes her works stand out. Elena's batik creations captivate both art experts and the general public

In 2021, she was awarded second and third place in the International Competition at the Russian Art Week, marking another significant achievement in her career. Elena’s practice is an exploration of the paradoxes in life, with a creative focus on the tension between wealth and need, grandeur and simplicity—an artistic dialogue that is more relevant than ever in today's world.
