Acrylic texture painting on canvas, without frame. Direct from my studio.
This abstract floral painting was created intuitively, allowing colors, movement, and emotion to guide the process. The flowers emerge not as fixed forms, but as fleeting sensations — growing, dissolving, and transforming within the canvas. It is a meditation on blooming as a state of being rather than an image.
About Elena Markova
I was born in Russia, where
I graduated from the academy of music, specializing in piano.
In adulthood, I had lived in New York for over 10 years and studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology, majoring in video editing and animation. I was also involved in photography and painting.
I have been living in Amsterdam since 2013, and I am exclusively engaged in painting. My paintings are found in private collections in many countries, and are also given to charitable organizations. I participate in various exhibitions. I use a variety of methods and techniques, and I express myself in various themes that resonate with my perception of the world at this moment. I use a realistic and romantic painting styles, but I am also not a stranger to intuitive painting, since I always tend to look for something new. Experimentation takes a big part in my work.
