Every tiny detail of the sculpture is filled with wonder. The wind, embodied in dense bronze, seems to dance around the girl, lifting her light dress and creating a sense of movement and lightness. The wind-blown hair adds lively dynamism, reminiscent of the carefree days of childhood.
The sculpture "Mary. Youth" gains even more significance when viewed through the lens of my memories and childhood fantasies. This piece of art transports me back to the days when I fell in love with the world of my favorite saga, "Mary Poppins."
In my childhood, much like the heroine of the fairy tale, I often ran out into the street with an umbrella when the wind played its games. Through the eyes of a child, I saw in this windy dance the possibility of taking flight and becoming a sorceress belonging to the world of wonders and fantasies.
As Elena, I dreamt that if I were called Mary, I would have become a true sorceress, capable of soaring into the sky. In this artwork, I find my own story, my little corner of magic, and nostalgia for a time when childhood was full of mysteries and possibilities.

Elena Kraft is a contemporary German painter and sculptor whose artistic journey was shaped by her lifelong passion for dance. From a young age, she immersed herself in the world of dance, progressing from a passionate dancer to a dance teacher, choreographer, and ultimately the proud director of the K-System dance school. Her extensive experience in dance has deeply influenced her artistic expression, inspiring her work with movements, body language, and body control.
At the age of 45, Kraft discovered a new passion for art, which she pursued alongside her dance career. Drawing from her background in dance, she naturally gravitated towards figurative art, with a focus on depicting the complexities and delicacies of the human body. Initially working with charcoal and pastel, Kraft now primarily uses acrylic, oil, resin, and clay in her paintings and sculptures. She enjoys experimenting with texture and various techniques, striving to imbue her works with a sense of liveliness and expression.
In her later works, Kraft explores the expression of her emotions through a spray technique, adding an expressionistic nuance to the backgrounds of her figurative paintings and sculptures. Through her art, Kraft seeks to capture the dynamic energy and emotional depth of the human form, creating works that resonate with vitality and emotion.
