Elena Myasnikova

“Nature itself is my inspiration, it provides the feathers to my artist's wings." — Elena Myasnikova.

Russian-Canadian artist, Elena Myasnikova, started her artistic journey in her late teens with a formal arts education in Russia. She holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts and obtained a Fashion Design diploma after immigrating to Canada.

Fine art always played an important role in Elena's life, and she mastered different painting and graphic techniques over time. A professional artist now, Elena expresses herself through mostly abstract contemporary artwork.

Living and working in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Myasnikova finds herself surrounded by beauty and pure magic. “I like to transfer my observations onto the canvas, capturing a shape or a sound in my artwork. Like the rock-like shapes under your feet, created by the shadows of tree canopies; or that whooshing, comforting sound of geese wings passing-by above. Communicate that moment, where time stood still, and I experienced something simple, yet so moving."

Highly detailed, with lavish embellishments, Elena likes to be in control of the outcome of the process. She knows where the work is going and carefully chooses her palette. Deliberate in every phase of the artwork coming to completion, she envisions her work in an art collector's interior. Hoping to bring her inspirations, from her world to yours. Adding the beauty and tranquility of nature to your home.
