They say that a painting is a kind of keyhole through which you can see the artist's soul.
Therefore, I want to tell you a little about the process of creating this painting.
I still remember that day. From early in the morning, everything did not go according to plan, people were aggressive and irritable. I was late wherever possible and my patience was running out. I held on with all my strength, so as not to be the same as everyone else. After lunch, I came to my studio to continue working on another painting. But my desire to take a new canvas won out. To be honest, I don't remember the process very well, because while painting this picture, I plunged into a trance. The subconscious mind independently chose the palette of colors, and the brushes were like an extension of my hands, which independently painted bizarre shapes. Even before I finished this work, I knew exactly what it would be called. And when I finished it, I cannot convey in words what I experienced. It was like acquired freedom and lightness. It was as if I was able to concentrate on the main thing, on what I love most in the world in this life. I am proud of myself that I did not react to the negative emotions that surrounded me. Thanks to this painting, I gained clarity of mind and peace of mind.

BIO
Elena Dobkin is a native of Dnipro (Ukraine), where she grew up, studied, and dreamed. A creative atmosphere has always reigned in the family. But the parents were preparing their daughter for the more practical/down-to-earth skills of the modern world. By the age of 26, Elena opened her own women's bag store. One day she heard the phrase: do you dream of drawing? So go ahead and draw! It sounded so easy and at the right time that Dobkin decided to radically change her life. In 2018, the aspiring artist took an oil painting course in the city of Dnipro "Art-L". And in 2020 she received a diploma of completion of the course at the “Art & Fashion School Fantasy Room” (Kyiv) in the amount of 16 hours of study. Elena writes about what inspires/excites her. As the author, herself says: “All my paintings are a mirror of the soul.”
Artist Statement
To be an artist is to put meaning into every touch of a palette knife/brush on the canvas. To make it possible to live the moment depicted in the painting. There are beautiful things everywhere, and most importantly, it's all hidden in simple things. From thoughts: short about the main thing.
CV

Since 2021, the Dnipro artist has been actively selling her works around the world in online galleries and marketplaces. They are made in the styles of abstractionism, modernism, and conceptualism. Dobkin's favorite technique is impasto, sometimes mixed, using oil, acrylic, texture paste, and gold leaf.
