Collages
Collage is a form of art that involves arranging and pasting different materials onto a surface to create a new and unique image. To me, this technique is fun and it opens wide creative opportunities. It’s faster to make, easier to twist things around, and always unique. More than 250 works to enjoy!
Original Paintings
I’m painting primarily in oil and depicting conceptual ideas using a variety of techniques and materials. I’m not making prints of my paintings as all of them have unique textures and finishing. You will be the only owner of any specific painting.
The Spring
$380.00The Spring 2021 painting depicts the most wonderful season in Vancouver – spring, but being unable to enjoy the season.

Eugenia
$800.00This painting was made in memory of Eugenia, Elena’s husband’s grandmother who passed away in summer 2021. Elena’s kids (Eugenia’s great-grandkids) picked this beautiful bouquet on the day she left this life and Elena painted them with a closed book that symbolizes the last chapter read of Eugenia’s life.

The Little Brothers Foxes
$1,200.00I love to paint portraits of my family. This original oil painting depicts my two little sons, who always get in trouble, but always together helping each other.
I wanted to show them as foxes because they are mischievous and playful.
I used oil paints in the heavy impasto technique and finished the work with oil bars.

Alice and Absolem
$6,000.00Alice finds herself in a surreal underwater realm, a vivid manifestation of her dreams where reality and imagination intertwine. Surrounded by shimmering bubbles and swirling currents, she feels the weight of her tears, which have transformed into a vast ocean, reflecting her emotions and experiences.
This oil painting combines three oil paintings I accomplished in 2012-2016, collaged and repainted into one large piece.

Alice in Wonderland: Cheshire Cat After Transformation
$500.00Cheshire Cat is one more original oil painting from the Alice in Wonderland series. As everything in a dreamland-wonderland is getting distorted and weird, the Cheshire Cat is not an exclusion. After disappearing and re-appearing so many times his physical shape changed badly.
