Elena Papernaya - Art Just For You​

Elena Papernaya’s artistic repertoire includes hyper-surrealist works characterised by intricate, realistic details.

Although she studied architecture, Elena taught herself the art of painting, integrating principles and techniques from her architectural background into her hyper-surrealist pieces, which blend precision with imaginative elements.

Additionally, she creates portraits, primarily focusing on commissioned works for private collections.

“I have known I wanted to be an artist since I was young. Growing up in a household filled with art and books about great artists like Michelangelo, I was constantly inspired by the images surrounding me.”

“While I studied architecture, I always felt a strong pull towards the artistic path and knew I had to pursue it.”

Papernaya’s art draws inspiration from the natural world—the sea, sky, landscape colors, and the shifting light of sunsets and sunrises—and spontaneous moments she feels compelled to share with the viewer.

“Every work has a story behind it.”

Each painting blends layered tones and subtle contrasts, encouraging viewers to explore the visual and emotional depth of her work.

“When I paint, I want the viewer to feel drawn into the work, to lose themselves in it, and find a sense of curiosity and calm.”
