About Elvira
Elvira Sultanova was born in 1993 in the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia. She started drawing at the age of 7 when she asked her parents to enroll her in a school art studio. Then her creative way began, at that moment the love of painting was born.
After 5 years, she realized that school drawing lessons weren't enough and her friend invited her to go to an art school together. The level of knowledge and teaching there was of course, completely different.
Since then, brushes, paints and pencils have not left her hands.
What is her oeuvre about? The main 3 directions of Elvira's work are landscapes, animals and nudity. She paints pictures in the style of realism, but with elements of abstraction, and sometimes expressionism.
“I want my paintings to feel life, both in the idea of the artwork and in its execution. I want my art to evoke different emotions in the viewers: it can be joy, and delight, and admiration, or vice versa, sadness, longing, perhaps a feeling of loneliness. A person does not have bad and good emotions, any emotion is a part of us, our life. This is part of the game, one of the rules of the game. Therefore, you never need to suppress your emotions, but learn to live them, meet them them gratefully and accept." - Elvira says.
Therefore, she tries to write her works so that they have life as it is: imperfect, but damn beautiful.
Most of her works are painted in oil. But there is also acrylic. She also uses graphic materials to create drawings: pencils, colored pencils, pastels, charcoal.
Landscapes
Through her landscapes, Elvira wants to remind people of how beautiful the world we live in is. There is nothing more beautiful and never will be. Because it is a divine creation. The most beautiful color combinations are natural: blue sky and yellow sun, red berries and green leaves, emerald sea and pink clouds ... In her work, through landscapes, Elvira wants to talk about the problem of ecology of the modern world. "We, people, are not masters in this world, in this life, we are guests here. For some time we were lucky enough to be here and live in this beauty. But how do we treat it? To nature. We are consumers who are merciless destroy the wealth and beauty of our world for the sake of their selfish goals. We build, cut down, litter, kill. And in the future our world will no longer be as beautiful as it was originally. And this is our fault. " - says Elvira. She believes that people should think about this and reconsider their attitude towards the world in which we live. Because this world is the home of our bodies. Elvira's landscapes depict pristine and divinely beautiful nature, which has not been touched by a human hand.
Animals
Animals are the creation of the creator, just like nature and we humans. They are graceful and delicate. They are majestic and powerful. They are infinitely beautiful and noble. Yes, they don't know how to talk. But Elvira believes that inside they are very smart and can know much more than a person. They are very kind and only want to live peacefully in their own world. But what are people doing? Using our strength and capabilities, we catch these defenseless creatures, put them in cages, take away the most important thing from them - freedom! We abuse them, create zoos, circuses, and again in order to only satisfy our selfish need: entertainment. Is it correct ? Would a person want to be treated the same way?
"Look at the animals in my paintings. They cannot convey their thoughts to us, but they are able to feel, think, love, be kind. Animals do not interfere with man's life. But man? The complete opposite." - Elvira answers.
Naked girls
God created our entire world, nature, animals and people. And there is no finer artist, better creator and master. And one of the manifestations of this divine mastery is the female body. Elvira depicts nude women in graphics using pencils or pastels. These drawings reflect the grace and tenderness of female forms. A woman is the most complex creature in this world, but at the same time, magnificently beautiful and attractive.
Elvira's works are in private collections in the USA, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Russia.
