Elena Lojevsky

When Elena began her artistic journey—a third career for her—she initially worked in 3D, welding steel sculptures. Her exploration through a variety of media eventually led her to her current work, which combines the sensitivity of oils with the texture imparted by wax. Her sensibility for three-dimensional form is evident in the textures and layers present in her work, allowing the underlying colours to subtly emerge.

Regarding her practice, Elena shares: “I am a visual and intuitive abstract artist. Rather than focusing on tangible subjects, I am drawn to expressing human emotions. Through emotional content, I aim to bring power, intensity, and a deep sense of struggle and passion for life into my work.

Working with oil and cold wax medium, I build up layers of paint to create textured, multi-dimensional pieces. It is a process of both adding and uncovering—digging, scraping, and scratching to explore what lies beneath. I embrace trial and error, allowing what might be considered mistakes to remain visible and become part of the final composition. I trust the painting to take on a life of its own and gradually reveal its ultimate form.

Each painting tells a unique story, sometimes about a particular place, a fleeting moment, or life itself. Every brushstroke and colour choice serves to capture the present moment and reflect where I am emotionally and creatively.”
