She gets her first prize in a drawings competition as a student in the National Academy of Arts. Her works can be found in private, corporate, and celebrity collections and galleries. In her works Elena always provokes the interest of the art viewers by helping them to look beyond the initial impression, to search themselves, and to discover their true personality projected on the image. The hidden must be revealed and manifested. The obvious must take a second place and be unostentatious. With her works Elena wants to unveil secrets, to change the focus, to show the way… Now she is living and working in Sofiq-Bulgaria.
