About Elena Utkina

Nature and painting is what fills my life with magic, allows me to look at the world and see its beauty. It changed my view of the world when I was still a child. Painting for me is a window to the ideal universe. I am forever in love with the beauty of the wild Siberian forests, with the special world of animals and plants. I have a higher education in the field of painting (easel painter). I work in the styles of impressionism and realism. I have extensive experience in museum work as an art critic, I love academic and contemporary art. I have experience as an art teacher in the field of charity - I was engaged in art therapy with children with cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders and blood cancer. I am very interested in protecting the environment, animals and pets. I have experience as a volunteer in a cat shelter. I believe that art makes human hearts kinder and heals human souls.
