Check out Elena Eros’s Artwork

Today we’d like to introduce you to Elena Eros.

Elena Eros unique education in Fine Art in Moscow under renowned Russian Artists (following great traditions of Russian realism) and Applied Art Education in Budapest under famous Hungarian Designers, allowing her to describe her subject matters in very unique ways. Her education in Moscow gives her a solid foundation in Drawing and painting, her training in Fashion design in Budapest. On the other hand, inspires her to stylize and interpret. She combines the experience of classically trained artist with fresh uniqueness of an aesthete & couturier. Ms. Eros has lived and worked in several countries across Europe, where Art is an essential part of life. This gives her an opportunity to approach different subject matters in various styles with ease and elegance. She is a multiple face artist, who is fascinated by the world surrounding her and inspired by opportunities to speak to different people in multiple languages.

Elena Eros has been creating numerous bodies of works using vibrant color palette, stressing dynamic movement of fabrics, draperies and expressive brushwork as a unification between seemingly unrelated subject matters: racecourses, picknicks, hot air balloons, scenes from her travel to India, Religious subject matters and many more.

When Ms. Eros first visited the Grand Canyon as a tourist, she was moved so deeply, that since then she always wanted to live in Arizona. She came here in 2006 and won a Drawing Competition for American Artist MAgazine, where Portrait study of her father was published. Elena Eros is a member of Oil Painters of America, Juried member of American Academy of Equine Art and Arizona Artists Guild.

She has recently started a new line of Exclusive Fashion Clothing and Accessories, based on her own paintings. Fine Art and Fashion design have come together and embraced each other. Elena Eros is offering several photos from her new collection for your consideration. What do you think?

We’d love to hear more about your art. What do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
I started to draw immediately when I was able to hold a pencil in my hand at the age of two. My first art teacher was my Father, an extraordinary aircraft designer. My childhood experiences at the best Russian and European Museums gave me a solid foundation and deep life lasting inspiration. Some of my favorite great artists of the past: from Rembrandt till Matisse, loved and collected beautiful garments, rags, and accessories. I loved studying and later teaching Costume History and culture of dressing.

I love drawing and painting people. I am fascinated by their facial expressions and inner worlds.

My other inspiration is animals. I was first asked to paint horses at Ascot Racecourse when I lived in England. I love horses, and their beauty touches my heart. I am not satisfied with stagnant positions, I like challenging movements and unusual perspective. Having worked in animation, inspires me to paint continues progression of their movements. I like the depiction of a “frozen” motion in time.

I am fulfilled and energized when my painting is “adopted” and continue to enrich the lives of those who live with them. I am learning, growing, and maturing.

As far as my religious paintings concern, I believe they are my future. I pray and wait till God gives me a unique visual revelation of a specific Scripture or Biblical event. They should be aesthetically pleasing, intellectually fulfilling, and spiritually meaningful. God is Beauty.

Artists face many challenges, but what do you feel is the most pressing among them?
Less and less people go to artists studios, museums, and art galleries. More and more people dwelling on the Internet. Artists have to learn how to take their places on different online media forums.

Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
I will be showing several of my equine paintings at the “Hold your horses!” Exhibition in Prescott at the Phippen Museum from the 2nd of August till the 22nd of September. After that, I will participate in the Invitational Exhibition in American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame and Museum from the 17th of August till the 12th of October. I am taking People and Equine Portrait commissions and showing my works by appointment in my studio in Phoenix, Moon Valley: elenaeros@gmail.com. My website is: elenaeros.com
