Utyanskaya Elena/ Russian

The boy who burned bridges

The fire!  The fire!  Get up!  Leave your warm beds.  Smoke smothers the city.  Footsteps are heard in the shadows.  The children's laughter fades away.  What motives prompted you to commit such an evil?  Modern Prometheus runs at night, fire in his hands betrays him.  The moon and the river, dumb witnesses, but they will not say anything about the crime.

Utyanskaya Elena 

I work in a traditional oil painting technique.  My painting combines thematic and stylistic unity, symbolic metaphorical language, multi-layered meanings. The action in my paintings unfolds at the junction of reality and surrealism in the plane of magical realism, close in spirit to illustration within the limits of what is possible on earth, without distorting the realistical forms. I strive to appealing primarily to the emotions of a viewer, speaking not in an abstract, but in a single language of human emotions. Work on drawing and painting from nature, constant plein-air practice and copying of old masters help me in this.  The main theme of my works is a human, the world of his inner experiences, the complexity and variety of relationships, the world of feelings and contradictions.
