Elena Leon - Under this creative nickname, works a talented animal artist from Russia. She doesn`t like to talk about herself, hoping only that her creativity speaks better than her biography. Her works on animal art exhibitions have been exposed in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

She considers that her works are reflections of the inner artist`s world, her love of animals and nature. In Elena Leon`s creative activity there are no dominant techniques, there is just an abstract way of self-expression. This can be anything - papier-maché, knitted toys, oil painting, felt, pencil or clay, pastel or stained glass. Choice of technique depends on mood and of course a model`s character. This is why the technique is not as important as the process - this is a special condition, searching, delivery and finally the realization of an image.

Now Elena does mostly plastic work and ceramics: "I like to feel volume of my hero`s and models. I prefer to work with real nature, only this way you can feel the completeness of character and catch the image. I hope my four-legged models are not offended at having to pose for hours."
