Elena Il'icheva

   At first glance at the canvas at heart could not help a feeling of unexpected glory,
and from their inherent total midday color, and lovingly written out by individuals, objects, fruits, flowers, attributes, skills, and from vague presentiment close the opening, the long-awaited event, travel, dating, happiness. Contribute to this renaissance, and even thickness,
a mixed viscosity of the medium, and warm colors, which seems even rdeyut not cooling down, the coals spiritual passion. And yet this noble of composition, consisting of items
awakening the imagination, a sense of poetry, and the melancholy, which covers the poet's verses to the future.
  It would seem from this oriental vision, this is extremely stretched string tradition, penetrating as that of Byron, Delacroix, Baudelaire's romantic energy, condensed matter unquenchable passion, thirst for discovery, mystery, metamorphosis? Or the presence of patristic
Michelangelo, Leonardo, an unattainable high spirit Cinquecento, and brilliance of metaphor, and reciprocal appreciation of things and events taken out of nothingness, and soaring spirit, so captivating in the old Italian masters?
    Here lies a sense of the length of time, and here it is easy branching, while attending
to the innumerable variations of the future. And disturbing the patina of time, which be covered coloration of her paintings, not only refers to things past, but also to the future of things simultaneously. Every detail here seems the fruit of happy memories, rastsvechennyh imagination.
     The artist has set itself the difficult goal - to know the true nature of things and
phenomena intuitive way. Sometimes her paintings resemble a dream realized, it is because they are the selection and use of real elements, combined to create a special mood. This mood of admiring nature, lofty dreams, mystical vizionizma.
      Il'icheva developed a special approach to the subject represented, because she firmly believes that the picture-
is not simply a combination of lines and colors are not blind imitation of nature but a different procedure values.
Each image viewer must fill their own understanding. As an artist, it has to know the true essence of things through intuition. It is all my soul befell
universal law of eternal return, the presence of the most expensive and hidden next to each other and invisible forms of life. Therefore, the work permeates agitated monologue, a desire to share what they saw and experienced, the call for understanding from people who are able to interview, reciprocal feeling.
      Form of the objective world as solid as the old masters, clearly written, but in these forms of Vliet's own spiritual substance, not form shifted, and the world itself is shifted with respect to the real world, and because art is saturated with deep overtones. Such is the world of the artist - not rambling, are not lost in the void, and the centripetal, tightly rolled, in some
given life-saving swaddling clothes, essential. In this case, the classical sculptural presence, a distinct
spatiality in the things themselves still lives as if they were studying under the watchful eyes of a pioneer. These things, though on a deserted island of Robinson Crusoe, of vital jewel, the expressive power of saving benefit, and therefore represent a full beauty of the material civilization.
   Pictures of Helena have the amazing ability to transmit secret thoughts and feelings.
Even the images of flowers in still life is inherent mysteriousness. It just seems that she is drawn to flowers, but in fact it tends to always stay with people. And the organic world
petals, stalks and grasses, their physicality plant transformed his existence in the sphere of the spirit.
Bouquets spiritual. And there is always a light, exciting flashes of white or Skatertniy cloth or paper dishes, bringing in a gust of clean air, the official border, the highest in the world. Subjects of still lifes are often mutually combine with the human figure. It is always an ideal object for investigations of color and plastic. Complementary beauty inherent in a woman and a flower, pushing the viewer to search for deeper meaning. And this beauty, eternal and self-contained,
refuses to give the answer to!
