Art that evokes the essence of complex human emotion, experience and condition through raw excavation.
Bio
Elena Behrakis (b.1970; United States) is a Greek American visual artist who lives and works in Massachusetts.
Working primarily in oil, ink and Japanese watercolo, Elena's highly expressive figurative works are characterized by their rich texture, energy, and visible brushstrokes and marks.
Her style of painting is intuitive heightening the emotion in her pieces. Elena's work is her direct relation to insulation, strength, invisibility, and vulnerability within the female experience.
"The environment may drive the work, but the work impacts the space it exists in. It is often difficult to disassociate the two".
