Hello, I'm Elena Kruk.
Living and creating on the beautiful French Riviera, I am immersed in a world of luminous light, vibrant color, and natural rhythm — a place where Mediterranean energy breathes life into my art.
Although I was born in Belarus, it is here, in the South of France, where my exploration of creativity, movements and the inner emotional world reaches its most powerful expression on canvas.
My paintings reflect life in all its facets — from soft, whispering landscapes to bold, emotionally charged depictions of human expressions. I am drawn to the themes of nature, light, motion, and the quiet strength, vulnerability and beauty of the feminine spirit. The human figure often appears as a symbol of the soul's inner landscape.
I don't confine myself to specific themes : my work ranges from realistic landscapes to expressive, figurative compositions, filled with vibrant energy and emotional depth.
Today, my paintings are part of private collections across the globe — in France, Monaco, the UK, the UAE, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Latvia, South Africa - and beyond. Every one of my painting is a story waiting to be discovered by someone who will connect with its energy and meaning .Each time a piece finds a home, I feel something magical: a shared connection between my inner world and someone else's.
Art, for me, is not just creation — it's conversation.
