✿ About ✿

Elena Grib is a self-taught artist, based in Italy/Gran Canaria.

Originally from a small village in Yamal, Elena began to paint from early years. Growing up, been fascinated by the power of nature, she draws this magical world as a place of freedom, openness and connection. Elena studied architecture in Moscow, then lived for several years in beautiful Portugal, charming Indonesia, exotic China, welcoming Morocco, adorable Italy and sunny Spain in attempt to explore the 'Art of life'.

She likes to discover the nature and different techniques, she wishes to invent her ‘Dream Universe’. During the creation Elena likes to play with colors, shapes and wooden blocks, the way we did as a child. Her days are inspired by a simple lifestyle, the ambience of the surfing culture, the feeling of 'living the life of the ocean'.

✿ Ideas carry energy ✿

I want to celebrate the human, the marks people make on the world. Treasure the local, the small-scale, the ordinary: whatever is made out of caring. To find beauty in small things, in appreciation of each moment.

CREATING
