"Старый город" (2014) Painting by Elena Kizaeva

I was born in Kharkov, Ukraine. Graduated from the pedagogical department of the Kharkov State Art School. I've been painting all my life. My favorite techniques are watercolor, pen, pencil and colored pencils, I also paint with acrylics and oils. The preferred techniques are a short sketch and glaze watercolor. In recent years, I have been mastering the technique of etching - thanks to the "Graphic Techniques" masterclass, under the guidance of the outstanding Ukrainian graphic artist and teacher V.Ye. Khristenko.

    Personal exhibition - "My favorite city" in the gallery "Buzok" (Kharkiv), 2018.

    Participated in exhibitions: "Graphics in Kharkiv" in 2020 and 2021 (diploma in the "Book Graphics" nomination), as well as in the "All-Ukrainian art exhibition dedicated to the Day of the Artist in 2020.

    Since childhood I have been inspired by the works of old masters - from antiquity to the Italian Renaissance, as well as by European painting schools of the 18-19 centuries. I prefer the classic approach to painting and graphics.
