Connecting artists to art enthusiasts

San Jose

ELENA MUKHINA

For the past 10 years, I have had the opportunity to create art for myself. Gouache, acrylic, ink, paper, and canvas help me to express my feelings of what I have seen, read, and heard. Books, movies, and songs contain a chain of events, acquaintances, and amazing interconnections that make me empathize both emotionally and physically. Over time, emotions about experiences fade, so it’s important to start the creative process in time. In the works presented, the viewer will get to know my first and most vivid impressions.

I have been experimenting with different forms of 2D and 3D art mediums and during this time I developed a technique to decorate wine bottles and framed cards while trying to discover my own style. I have a particular interest in the way that different textures and materials can be used to create depth and movement in my work. I have been using leather to create collages, which allows me to play with light and shadow in a unique way.

Whisper

In this oil painting, I interpret nature experienced in daily life through my own visual l language. The rough tree branches stretched across the lake, the dead logs floating on the water, and the rippling waves swaying in the wind reveal their presence not through standardized forms, but through color and texture. The colors are calm and solemn, almost as if they evoke the sounds of the flowing waves stirred by the wind, the breeze passing between the branches, and the sounds of the branches crashing against each other. I strive to evoke the sounds of nature's whispers, the murmurs of untold stories, or perhaps the tender lullabies of Mother nature.

Zenith’s Dance

"Zenith's Dance" is a work at the crossroads of textures and symbols. The creative process involves a meticulous dyeing of the paper with delicate shades extracted from flowers and tea, thus offering an organic and natural palette. The circular motif symbolizes infinity, which is for me a symbol of cultivating an open mind to explore new horizons. Circular motifs, merged with threads in soft hues, compose the "Zenith's Dance" by the seaside with a view of the mountains, creating a moment of tranquility and natural beauty.
