Artist Elena Gerasimova:

Creativity, like a prayer, connects me with God

Elena lives in Latvia and is: - Honorary member of the International Academy of Contemporary Art, - Member of the Professional Union of Artists, - Included in the Unified Register of Professional Artists. Elena says: “I am in Latvia - a cozy beautiful country, on the shores of the Baltic Sea, which gives freshness and inspiration for creativity. Once I visited a holy elder (priest Nikolai Guryanov). The elder blessed me for creativity. Since then, for 30 years now, I have been creating icons, portraits and paintings, and I take part in the restoration of churches in Latvia. I deeply respect this blessing of the elder. My works are in churches and homes - in different countries. I like to spiritualize the space so that it helps to think about God and creates a favorable atmosphere in the house.” And according to the law of spiritual tradition and continuity, the blessing of the holy elder resides in each of Elena's paintings, which makes them special - this is not only a painting, but also an object of holy blessing, which is especially beneficial for the home space. In 2022, Elena agreed to present her paintings to the general public - her family and friends had been telling her about this for a long time. And now Elena's paintings are exhibited in galleries in Europe and America, participate in international exhibitions and competitions, receive recognition and awards. The press writes about Elena's paintings. Here is what the famous Vanity Fair magazine, published by Condé Nast, writes: «ELENA GERASIMOVA is a Latvian-based artist who crafts mesmerising abstracts, portraits and icons. With her mastery of different paint mediums, she has showcased her works in exhibitions and online galleries with widespread recognition. Infused with spiritual essence and inspired by the wonders of nature, her artwork brings divine serenity to any interior»
