Elena Lanceleux is a contemporary painter based in France whose artistic journey has been marked by a profound evolution and a newfound sense of creative freedom. Born in Russia in 1975, Elena's early fascination with art was nurtured by her father, who instilled in her a love for drawing and wood carving. Despite this passion, fate led her down a different path, and she pursued a career as a printing engineer.
In 2012, Elena made a significant change by relocating to France in search of a fresh start. However, it wasn't until the age of 42 that she made the decision to fully embrace her lifelong passion for painting. Her artistic awakening began at the Annual Practice Workshops | 2018-2019 at ESAD (Higher School of Art and Design) in Reims, under the guidance of her teacher, PEI-LIN CHENG. It was here that Elena discovered a newfound sense of freedom in expressing herself through art, marking a significant turning point in her journey.
The COVID-19 pandemic further propelled Elena into the realm of art, providing her with the opportunity to immerse herself fully in her creative pursuits. Since then, she has devoted herself wholeheartedly to painting, finding joy and fulfillment in the process. With each stroke of the brush, Elena continues to develop her unique style, experimenting with techniques such as oil painting using the palette knife and embracing the new naive style.
Today, Elena finds liberation in her art, unbound by fear and inhibition. She delights in the freedom to explore and create something entirely her own. Her preferred techniques, such as creating textured works by mixing acrylic paint with filler, reflect her innovative spirit and dedication to pushing the boundaries of her craft. As her works find their way into private collections around the world, from Sweden to Taiwan, Spain, and her native France, Elena Lanceleux's journey as a painter is a testament to the transformative power of artistic expression.
