MStudio

Working from her studio in Germany, Elena Mosurak’s painting practice is a investigation into colour and facture. In the beginning, her paintings had their roots in realism but she continues to experiment with new techniques, styles and materials. Since 2010, her work has evolved from traditional still lifes and landscapes to abstractions and semi-abstractions that allow the viewer to develop their own interpretation through a contemplative process. In some of her paintings she like to enrich the representation adding textural effects, using acrylic colours, gesso and structure paste with sand. This technique allows her to bring depth and tension to the painting, generating contrasts – smooth and grainy, fine and coarse, matte and shiny, light and shadow – it is bring to the paintings gracefulness and balance. This additional sensory aspects helps the viewer to embrace not only the visual, but also tactile perception into their experience, to ‘play’ with the painting and, perhaps, to imagine what is not even there. Artworks are in private collections in Austria, Australia, Belgium, Cyprus, China, Germany, Greece, France, Finland, Italy, Ireland, Japan, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, UK, USA.
