Elena Gerasimova –
Latvian Contemporary Artist:
Creativity, like a prayer, connects me with God
Elena Gerasimova lives and works in Latvia — a beautiful, serene country on the shores of the Baltic Sea that brings freshness and inspiration to her art. She is an Honorary Member of the International Academy of Contemporary Art, a Member of the Professional Union of Artists, and included in the Unified Register of Professional Artists. “Once I met a holy elder — Father Nikolai Guryanov — who blessed me for creativity,” Elena says. “Since then, for more than thirty years, I have created icons, portraits, and paintings, and participated in the restoration of churches. I deeply respect this blessing, which continues to inspire every brushstroke.” Many of Elena works now reside in churches and private homes across different countries. Each painting carries a quiet spiritual light — not only a visual artwork, but also a piece of blessing that harmonizes the space where it lives. In 2022, Elena decided to present her art to the wider public. Her paintings are now exhibited in galleries across Europe and the US, participating in international exhibitions and competitions, and receiving recognition and awards. One of the features in Vanity Fair (Condé Nast) described her art as: “ELENA GERASIMOVA is a Latvian-based artist who crafts mesmerising abstracts, portraits and icons. Infused with spiritual essence and inspired by the wonders of nature, her artwork brings divine serenity to any interior.”
Original paintings by Elena Gerasimova are represented internationally on Singulart — a leading platform for contemporary art collectors.
