Biography

Li, Elena Mikhailovna. I was born in Tashkent city on April 8, 1970. The older I get, the more I love my age. Childish fears, haphazard attachments, dissatisfaction with myself - all that is behind me. Everything except youth itself. I live for today, I love the here and now, I love painting which is my life. If I am not bored, hungry or thirsty, if I don't want to travel, shop, make love or whatever, I paint. I paint out of malice, happiness, jealousy, passion, when I see utter poverty or tremendous luxury. I paint when I am offended or feel guilty. I roam, I search for balance within and outside of myself and throw my pain as paint onto the canvas. And I love all this, even though I am endlessly languishing, ashamed of my imperfection.
