Elli Popa
Elli Popa is a contemporary Romanian painter. Elli's artistic path was enriched by the opportunity to study at the Academy of Arts in Bucharest, where she had the privilege of learning under the guidance of renowned teachers and artists. Her artistic inception was profoundly influenced by the works of Vincent van Gogh, a master whose art left an indelible mark on her creative spirit. It was an encounter with Van Gogh's work, experienced in person at the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, that ignited the flames of artistic fascination within her. This encounter with Van Gogh's genius served as the spark that set her on her own artistic journey.
As Elli's artistic journey unfolded, she found herself drawn to the work of other visionary artists who would shape her creative vision.

The portraits of women painted in the Neofigurative style are truly captivating. They depict mysterious women who seem to be lost in deep thought, as if contemplating the secrets of the universe. The fragmented and abstract forms add an additional layer of intrigue to these paintings. The angles and perspectives used in the artwork create a sense of disorientation, as if the women are trapped in a timeless realm, forever caught in the flow of time.
The enigmatic nature of these portraits leaves the viewer pondering about the stories behind these women. Who are they? What are they thinking? The mists of uncertainty swirl around them, leaving us with nothing but speculation. Yet, it is precisely this ambiguity that draws us in and invites us to explore their inner worlds.
