ART IS NOT WHAT YOU SEE BUT WHAT YOU MAKE THE OTHERS SEE
I live and create in Israel, where I have my own studio. Graduated from Voronezh Art School (Russia), during last years I participate in a variety of painting courses and learn from well-known artists. Today I'm a painter, a member of National Pastel Society of Russia, and an active member of local Artists Association.
As per mediums, I divide my time between watercolors, pastels, charcoal and mix between them. As painting tools in addition to brushes, I use palms, fingers, palette knifes and even more. I mostly paint landscapes and cityscapes, whether done in a traditional style or more loosely when the landscapes become abstract inner spaces. My path is to look for new effects, a new look at the expression of ideas, harmonious combinations of colors, shapes, rhythm that cannot be repeated. Always I look ahead and go my own way. Color became my language - this is the way I can express myself best of all other languages. Painting leads me each time to a new exploration of being in the moment. I will never stop. The mixing and making of hues and tones, the flow of brush, the texture of the paint – is my passion.
A lot of people live in "grey" humdrum cities (on their opinion). I think that I as an artist can bring to them the idea that beauty is always a step away from us, you just need to be able to see it. And when people will be able to discern the “remarkable in the unremarkable”, they will change their attitude to the place they live in. And there will be more happy people on our Earth. Nature and its various moods - one more focus of my art. I paint landscapes in the sunrise and sunset, rainy or windy weather, snow mountains and poppy fields. We travel a lot, and I always come back from these travels with lots of sketches, being inspired for new paintings.
I'm proud to say that my works are in private collections in Israel, Russia, Bulgaria, Australia and other countries. As a passionate painter I often participate in various exhibitions, trying to reveal the beauty of our world to the people. At this moment I have more than 100 works to sell (and I'm not going to stop), which I would be glad to present on your site and to have a chance to sell it.

Continuous training, the discovery of new tools, techniques, approaches to drawing - an important part of the life of a modern artist. Usually I take 2-3 courses a year.
Copying is a great way to learn. By copying, I am also studying. I am able to analyze other peoples pieces and see what I like, and soon learn how to apply those technical skills to my own drawings.This gallery consists of my work performed during courses and of my copies of others artists works.
These works are not intended for sale, but you can get any of them as a GIFT when you book ANY 2 or more of my artworks from "Latest Artworks" ordered at the same time !

Beautiful work, the soft morning light on the birds and the water are very sensitive. Bravo
Quelle magnifique et riche idée de faire le "portrait" d'une fleur ! Le résultat est superbe. Bravo !
Une oeuvre discrète, des couleurs subtiles, un bouquet complètement décalé qui semble tendre vers quelque chose... et un très bel hommage.
Superbe graphisme, superbes couleurs. J'aime beaucoup l'énergie qui se dégage de cette oeuvre. Bravo !
J'aime cette oeuvre qui parle calmement d'un état de solitude "again". Un moment, un passage sur la longue route de la vie. Je l'inscris dans ma collection "La route".
I'm very moved by this beautiful artwork, Elena. It speaks to me... I send you my encouragement and best thoughts.
Very expressive.........!
Elles sont très très belles vos oeuvres
J'ADORE !!! Une très belle représentation d'égalité entre hommes et femmes ; le regard de part et d'autres, la proximité, ce mauve représentative des 2 sexes et tellement bien peint
Splendide aquarelle et atmosphère!
