Working from her studio in Germany, Elena Mosurak’s painting practice is an investigation into colour and facture. In the beginning, her paintings were rooted 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 viewers to develop their own interpretations through a contemplative process. In some of her paintings, she likes to enrich the representation by adding textural effects, using acrylic colors, gesso, and structure paste with sand. This technique enables her to bring depth and tension to the painting, creating contrasts—smooth and grainy, fine and coarse, matte and shiny, light and shadow—it brings gracefulness and balance to the artworks. These additional sensory aspects help viewers embrace not only the visual but also tactile perception in their experience, to ‘play’ with the painting and perhaps imagine what is not even there. Artworks are in corporate and 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.
