Elena has been increasingly expanding her opportunities on art practices by adopting the style of freehanding without drafts, introducing her original character „chibi-chan” in various sets of styles. Her recent representative work „Surfing Ochibi” which placed as a tribute to Hokusai Katsushika’s „Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjarokkei)” is a great example of explaining her own unique style of adorable characters and enchanting colors mixed with Hokusai’s traditional techniques. Prolonging Hokusai’s painting method on watercolors and unique compositions, she introduces her works with an alternative use of vivid colors of matte and hard acrylic gouache, leading it to harmonize the good old traditions and modern pop art in a novel and a supple formative beauty.
