Review on Melbourne Artist Elena Ryazanoff

Elena Ryazanoff was born into a family of artists and intellectuals in Moscow and grew up in an area where museums and galleries were abundant and provided continuous exposure to the world of art and theatre. Schooled in art from an early age and holds a degree from the famous Sourikov Academy of Fine Arts in Moscow and is now a constant and prolific exhibiting artist. In 1991 she come to Australia and after a period in Canberra eventually settled in Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula close to Port Philip Bay and the magnificent Bass Strait. Her works today reflect on her depth of feelings for nature and the environment in which she now lives. Her abstract paintings with the moon/sphere image and the traditional Iconic symbolism merge in a unity of sound and colour. Elena says it is the mystery of this experience that inspires her, the search for the spiritual essence of life that transfers into art. She is deeply influenced by the masters of the Renaissance such as Botticelli, Durer and Michelangelo and this is evident in her figurative works with the sensitive and fluid use of line. All her paintings contain the classical compositional components and vividness of colour and occasionally using glazing that evokes feelings from this era. Yet, she brings to this a distinctive contemporary style, layers of texture and figures that seem suspended weightlessly in space along accompanied with luminosity of colour that gives a sense of physical vibration. Elena says, My paintings are my life and I believe that every artist sees the world differently in the expression of their art. They generally do not record works like a camera, but as if they are looking through their individual prism at the world. more http://www.ryazanoff.com/
