The Swan
Mixed medium, 83x63cm
To anybody who has doubts about this painting, my advice is: - Go and see Mathew Bourns' "The Swan Lake".

Sirin is an exceptionally beautiful Russian choir. They perform in different countries and whenever possible I always try to come to their concerts.

Life in Moscow
The Garden
Mixed medium, 59x79cm
Every Muscovite dreams of a "dacha"; - a little house out of town to escape to during the hot (or rainy!?) summer days. The lucky ones have the garden as well!
The Queue
Mixed medium, 79x59cm
This picture is a metaphor for something I've lived with for many years; something many a Russian would understand.

Queen of Spades 1&2
Mixed medium
68x88 cm
The two paintings represent the outcome of many thoughts excited into being by Pushkin's story and Tchaikovsky's opera.

About Me
- Name: Yelena Lewis
Having been born and bred in the Russia of the pre-Perestroika era left me with the great gift of emotional dependence upon family and friends, as well as the advantages of a cheerful disrespect for any sort of propoganda or any kind of authority. I've recieved my education in Brezhnev's Russia and Blair's Britain and have lived in Moscow in the USSR, Newcastle on Tyne and London in Britain, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Geneva in Switzerland before settling down in France. I feel I have a few stories to tell combined with a strong desire for an audience: the resulting hot-pot can be found in my paintings, some of which are found on this website. It gives me great pleasure to work in different styles, as it signifies fun and freedom, the qualities greatly appriciated by anybody who, like me, has had an experience of a totalitarian upbringing. Similarly, I use any medium available to paint with: oil, watercolours, gouache, charcoal, pure pigments, pencil, ink, pastel, acril - anything! - and on any support: paper, wood panels, cardboard, canvass, etc.
