Elvira Gord, a rising artist in the Dubai fine art scene, has swiftly emerged as a remarkable talent, securing a noteworthy position in this burgeoning international art hub. Hailing originally from Eastern Europe, Elvira identifies as a citizen of the world, having traversed various places before establishing herself, along with her husband and two children, in Dubai. Her artistic journey, marked by a shift from a successful career as a Financial Executive to a full-time artist, showcases a rich and diverse palette inspired by extensive travels to Asia, New York, Scandinavia, and Europe.
Elvira's paintings, characterized by vibrant depictions of architecture, still-life, and nature, offer a fresh and distinctive perspective. Influenced by the art of Monet, she has reinterpreted the impressionist style, infusing it with her expressionistic and colorful approach. Her preferred mediums, oils, or acrylics, serve as vehicles to express the interplay of color, light, form, and movement, capturing the essence of the world around her. With a penchant for strong, evocative colors, Elvira's work stands apart from traditional Impressionism.
Her artistic philosophy revolves around painting from feelings rather than focusing solely on the object itself. Elvira's floral paintings, such as the vibrant oils of sunflowers, showcase confident, lavish brushstrokes, rich with color and intensity. Employing a palette knife, she introduces an impasto/3-D effect, adding depth to her creations. Her love for architectural structures is evident in canvases depicting places from her travels, notably a recent series featuring Italian landmarks from Venice, Florence, and Rome. These structures exude strength, bold color, and play with light and shadow.
Elvira's artistic style reflects her vibrant, spontaneous, and energetic personality, manifested through richly textured paintings that captivate the viewer with their dynamism and expressive allure.
