Elena Gaevskaya
Every time you change jobs, you feel like you're being born again. After I graduated from Moscow Textile University, I worked as a fashion designer, first in Russia and then in Latvia.
Taking the following education, I worked as an interior decorator in Canada for over 20 years.
A strong desire to paint pictures in the oil style led to my third rebirth, which was the best.
That burning desire to paint has become a constant need to create new portraits, figures, landscapes, and still-life paintings.
By far, my favourite genre of art is still life.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Painting is a pleasure and a way to express my inner world and emotions.
I am impressed by the possibilities of fine art in showing beauty to everybody who wants to see it.

The history of that painting is straightforward: Anticipation.
