Biography
While living in Sydney for more than 10 years, Olena worked with all the painting media and often produced works using a mixture of these elements.
She uses the full palette and has a number of distinct styles ranging from surreal through neo industrial to real life.
Olena says her inspiration comes primarily from real life and from the interpretations she gets from seeing things in a variety of settings.
Now Olena settled in Canary Islands, Spain and working on the new series of paintings which are inspired by the uniqueness of European landscape.
I am like an architect in my creative space, she says, I like to build the painting or drawing in my mind first. I need the vision locked in, it has to be defined, I then decide on the media I want to use, then the size of the work and finally the layout.
