Elena Flerova

Elena Flerova The editor and publisher of Fine Art Magazine Victor Forbes recently wrote about Elena Flerova's work: "Her re-creative abilities are superlatives, noteworthy for their neoclassic attention to detail and vivid colors with an interplay of light and texture you will find only in the vocabulary of the giants of art history."

Flerova's paintings are noted for their radiant illumination, resulting from multiple overlays of white and hues until a brilliance, which seems to come from within is achieved. The light reaches a peak of intensity around the main hero. Says Fr. Richard G. Cannuli, O.S.A., Director of the Villanova University Art Gallery:

"Elena's paintings range from remarkably insightful portraits that capture the spirit of her subjects to large-scale monoprint paintings and oils. Whether they are wall murals, screens or other interior decorations for private residence or public buildings, her works evoke the mystique, essence, and sweep of historical and religious events and fables."

Of her use of illumination, Flerova says," We are all made of light created by our Lord, and we have to share this gift with others. I paint by levels until the light begins to jump like sunshine from the inside. The harmony is born of the picture itself." Since emigrating from former Soviet Union ten years ago, Elena Flerova has established herself as a living classic Judaica Artist.

"Elena Flerova's art stretches from past to future. Her style and technique, consistent with her subjects, evoke a different age, with its careful yet passionate brush strokes. She conjures up a different world from that in which most of us dwell, a world apart from the particular forms of hustle and hurry to which most of us are subject. She returns us to a world still extant in parts of the Jewish world but which too many of us mistakenly recognize only as the world of our great-grandparents, a world with its own passionate weekly pace interspersed with quiet pious ecstasy and untold spiritual wealth"-says On Z. Soltes, Director B'nai B'rith Klurznick NATIONAL JEWISH MUSEUM.

Elena Flerova holds two of the former USSR most prestigious Art awards. In addition, for six consecutive years (1981-1986), she won her nation's annual achievement award for illustration. She also holds the 1990 Prague International Book Show Medal. Flerova graduated from Moscow Surikov Fine Arts Institute and Nation Academy of Fine Art.

Beyond the United States and Russia, Flerova's work has been exhibited throughout Europe and North America.
