Russian-born artist Elena Popova, based in Cyprus, creates atmospheric paintings that explore silence, emotional memory and inner transformation. In Into the Current, deep violets and shifting shadows emerge through layers of colour and texture, evoking a sense of movement, surrender and awakening. Her paintings are guided by intuition rather than narrative, balancing fluidity and resistance to reflect the tension between control and release. Through luminous surfaces and subtle transitions of light, Popova seeks to make stillness visible, inviting viewers to engage with emotions and experiences that often remain beyond words.
