Elena Ivanova

I knew from childhood that I would become an artist — I was absolutely sure of it from the age of three. My art education began at the age of nine, when I entered art school, and then continued my studies at the graphic design department. I worked as a designer at a museum for five years, creating expositions and designing exhibitions. At the same time, I created paintings to order in various graphic techniques: ink, pastel, sanguine, watercolor. For six years, I taught design, helping students develop artistic vision and technical skills. At forty, after the birth of my child, I realized that I had not yet realized my main childhood dream — and returned to oil painting. This technique has always seemed majestic, deep and monumental to me, capable of preserving beauty and emotions for centuries. The smell of oil, its tactility and a special creative atmosphere create for me a unique space of inspiration, where expressive paintings are born. My work is inspired by the harmony and perfection of nature: forests, meadows, flowers, birds, insects - and especially roses. I strive to convey light, warmth and beauty through oil painting, creating modern interior paintings that fill the space with joy and harmony. I believe that my works resonate in the souls of viewers, bringing them inspiration and inner peace. Now I am at a transitional stage in my creative path: I am implementing new ideas, improving my technique and forming my own visual language. --- Keywords: oil artist, oil painting, oil paintings, modern paintings, nature paintings, interior paintings, contemporary art, art gallery, landscape oil painting, still life oil painting, bird painting, paintings with flowers, paintings with roses, oil painting.
