Elena Merlina - Paint The World Tour
Paint The World Tour
Hi there - my name is Elena, an Italian Artist sailing the globe. Join me on my Paint the World Tour to discover how I'm using driftwood to showcase my travels
MessageElena is an Italian born artist who is undertaking a world tour on a sailboat. With over 50 countries traveled she has a unique and broad perspective of people, culture, and their history. The Architecture of these countries has particularly fascinated her, as she recognizes how these buildings distinguish and reflect each culture as a whole. The uniqueness of Elena's art is that she paints these rich historic buildings on Driftwood boards found in her travels. Combining the elements of the architecture with the naturally sculpted features and energy of the drift wood, she creates a powerful artistic representation that takes you beyond the five senses and into new levels of appreciation and reflection. Elena invites you to join her on her Paint The World Tour with art collections representing the various countries she visits. With her recent 2022 arrival in the Mediterranean, you can look forward to select new European pieces and collections..
Statement
I hope you enjoy my art! Each piece is special to me as the process is very organic and inspirational - from finding the wood on deserted beaches, to exploring and absorbing each of the countries I am privileged to visit. It brings me joy to know that I am adding .... not taking away from this amazing world, and that most of my pieces will find a home on a wall somewhere in the world, creating connection and appreciation between distant cultures.
