Cherneeva Elena

Biography

Painter, graphic artist, decorative and applied arts artist.
Corresponding member of the International Academy of Contemporary Arts, member of the Creative Union of Professional Artists.

"The artist Elena Cherneeva has a rare ability to saturate her paintings and landscapes with spiritual warmth. In the best, soulful canvases, there seems to be a gentle breeze. Many of her works have this quality, and they are charmingly attractive for it... The artist's skills are developing and improving. The warmth of her soul remains unchanged, the basis of lyricism, the indispensable quality of her talent, her paintings, the genre of which we would define as lyrical realism."
— Stanislav Aydinyan, Chairman of the Art History Department of the International Academy of Modern Arts, full member of the Russian Academy of Art Criticism, full member of the European Academy of Natural Sciences, Deputy Chairman of the South Russian Writers' Union, Editor-in-Chief of the Southern Lights magazine, member of the Russian Writers' Union.

"An artist by vocation, not by position, is always looking for connections between reality and imagination, between the earthly and the heavenly, and in his best works combines these hypostases into a single whole. Even capturing everyday emotions and sensations gives a complete picture of the depicted world and the inner attitude towards it. Bearing in mind that the landscape is an allegorical embodiment of the artist himself, it is easy to guess the author's lyrical character, peaceful. Her work helps the viewer to merge into the world of contemplation and peace, and even a not too sophisticated eye will notice the mastery of Elena's works, regardless of the theme, style, technique."
— Elena Kazennova, journalist
