Elena Zelenina
New York, NY
An ardent arts advocate, a world-class coach, and a teacher with 30 years of experience, who exhibited and lectured internationally.
MessageElena Zelenina has been an ardent arts advocate, a successful world-class coach, and a brilliant teacher with her experience spanning the US, Russia, and India for over several decades. Over ten years ago, she founded and ran a highly unique Biryukov Academy of Arts in New Jersey, where she also taught until she moved to New York City to start the Art Completes You project.
The project has gradually expanded into the network of global online workshops and seminars attended by those who always dreamed about becoming an artist but either never got around to it or doubted that they had the necessary talent. The purpose of that project by the people for the people is to reveal an inner artist inside each of us and to cast away any doubts that people may have had about their creative potential.
Elena's public speaking interests include general and liberal arts education, parenting, and empowerment through arts and the science of completion. In addition to Elena's numerous achievements, she is also a certified Vedic arts instructor, the science of completion, and meditation coach. She holds a Master's Degree from Moscow State Pedagogical University.
Elena has authored several books on art education for parents and ways to help children with learning disabilities through art. Her latest work, "Art Completes- Transformation through Art and the Science of Completion," is an #1 Amazon bestseller.
Her artistic style results from years of Vedic spiritual exploration with the influence of growing up surrounded by traditional landscape artists. She explores the experience of enlightenment breakthroughs through dreamy surrealist portraits and landscapes. For her, nothing she paints is just as it seems; as one observes each painting, a more profound meaning can be uncovered by the well-thought-through hidden gems placed on the canvas. Her goal is to enrich those around her, so everyone feels empowered to explore their creative being and feel joy.
Statement
"I feel a sense of responsibility for how people perceive my art. I feel as an artist, it's my duty to ensure that with every piece, a person feels a sort of goodness and curiosity inside. I want to evoke peace with each piece since that's how I feel when I paint them." - Elena Zelenina
