From Elena's DPW Gallery Page:
Hello! I'm Lena! I'm from Ukraine. I really like to draw from childhood. As far as I can remember, I draw all the time. In my works I try to reveal the theme of childhood - carefree, bright and joyful. I want my work to bring joy and happiness!
Tell us a bit about how you first started painting.
Since childhood, I have loved to draw.
Did you have any stops and starts in your painting career?
There were stops: for a couple of years, I did not draw at all. I realized that I can't live without painting, it's my battery.

What mediums and genres have you experimented with?
I paint with acrylic paints, they are bright and resistant to light, therefore the work is always colorful and also dries quickly.

Which ones are you looking forward to exploring?
I am a self-taught artist with genres of painting I have not experimented with yet. For example, Impressionism; I want to work in this direction.

Who or what inspires you most?
Children inspire most of all, their pure and bright emotions I want to draw over and over again.
What techniques work to ensure that you make time for your art?
I draw in the morning while everyone is asleep.

How do you generally arrive at ideas for your paintings?
I take ideas from my child and my childhood. I am a mother myself, when I look at my child, I will change my childhood.

What makes you happiest about your art?
I feel happy to be able to paint. Painting lightens my mood for the whole day. I will be very happy if my work can bring joy to someone and return them a little to childhood.
