Butterflies in the stomach. (2019) Sculpture by Elena Kirillova

Artist, mosaicist.
Member of International Association of Contemporary Mosaicists AIMC (Ravenna).
In 2009 I have taken the nippers, mosaic hammer and since that time I cannot release them from my hands.
Mosaic for me is an opportunity to make life brighter. Any idea realized in a mosaic becomes juicier and more festive. Mosaics from smalt turn out colorful, with amazing positive energy. I like working with my hands, feeling the depth of colors, processing a tree, cutting smalt, always being surprised and enjoying the result.

I love mosaics and respect traditional techniques, but I try to do something new, something that raises a lot of questions. For me it's interesting to come up with new techniques. My new author's technique is a mosaic made of pieces of fused glass. Each glass element is melted manually. This everything is in combination with smalt and metals. 

I realize my ideas in pictures, objects of interior, furniture.
I take part in various local and international exhibitions.
Works are kept in private collections.
