Elena Petrova
The new canvas smells like something extraordinary, like a new thing that you have wanted for so long and now you have acquired. I put a new clean canvas on the easel, and then the magic begins.
My name is Elena Petrova. I was born in 1982.
I am a professional artist, a member of the Eurasian Art Union. I live and work in Russia. Originally from Siberia from a small town in the Novosibirsk region. I lived for many years in Barnaul. But because of their love for the sea, they moved to live in Sochi.
I painted my first oil painting at the age of 10. At that time, I didn't think I would connect my life with drawing.
In 2000, I entered the railway institute.
In 2005, I got a job on the railway for distribution in Barnaul to my future husband.
In 2012, I quit my job to open my an online craft store.
In 2014, I sold the store and went with my husband to the sea, where I began to paint pictures. I went to study at master classes, where I remembered oil paints and canvases.
In 2015, I returned to Barnaul and entered the evening department of Barnaul Children's Art School No. 1.
In 2018, I went on maternity leave and gave birth to my long-awaited son Stepan.
In 2020 we will finally move to Sochi. There I begin to learn palette knife painting online.
The sea and the palette knife are my passion. These are paintings filled with life and energy.
In 2022, I am starting to study soft pastels.
I paint in oil on canvas or dry pastel on paper. At the moment, more than 70 paintings have been painted to order, more than 7 years of working with orders. I study the influence of the sea on the human condition. My paintings are in private collections, houses and offices in Russia, UK, Romania, Singapore.
My goal is to become a selling artist in my lifetime. I want everyone in their home or office to have my painting, symbolizing individuality, freedom and strength.

Very nice artwork! Bravo!
Thank you, Svetlana! Your work is amazing too!
The series seascapes are astounding. The colours and mixing makes the sea feel soo real.
I like your recent series of pastel seascapes. Pastel itself is a warm material, pleasant to touch. It makes the seas feel all the more real.

Dear Elena, your new painting "Sea No. 9" is a precious gem. The seascape is absolutely attractive and inspirational. It communicates peace, relax and very positive vibrations. Subtle colors are masterly achieved to create an amazing scenario. Congratulations for this stunning artwork! Zaplaflora (Jesús F. Torres)
