Elena Markova comes from a family of artists and artisans. She comes from Kargopol, a charming town in northern Russia, famous for its churches, cathedrals and folk art painted in vibrant colors. Elena was raised to appreciate art and love the natural beauty, history and mythology of the folk tales of her homeland. These early influences, combined with a deep love for her family, became the basis for an extraordinary artistic journey.
Elena has always been an artist, having studied ceramics and painting at Abramtsevo Art College in Moscow. With maturity and a broader view of the world, she refocused her talents on painting, finding representation and recognition in galleries in Moscow, St. Petersburg and throughout Europe.
At the height of her artistic success in her native Russia, Elena moved to Oregon to reunite with her extended family. Seeing Oregon's natural beauty through her artistic sensibility, she found fresh inspiration for her paintings.
With influences deeply rooted in the historical and spiritual traditions of Eastern Europe, Elena's art resonates in the hearts of people from all walks of life. Her gift of breathing life into gorgeous landscapes, soothes the soul and brings joy to the human heart.
