Elena Vostryakova is an Austrian-Russian artist. In her creative life, she has always been interested in turning the creation of an artwork into a fascinating search that combines futurology science, art and fantasy about our possible future.
She was born in an artist-family and has been familiar with ceramics since early childhood. The work of a ceramist is similar to meditation, when the artist is in direct contact with the earth. Later, she constantly expanded the boundaries of her creativity, became interested in painting and creating mixed media art objects, primarily collages.
Collage provides a unique opportunity to delve into the topic of time, to look for a link between the past and the future. Working with the found objects becomes a very interesting task. After all, they can be considered the very transitional material of which our life today consists.
Apart from everything else, the mystery of art has a lot in common with the mystery of time. And if someone asks where to look for the source of eternity, the answer may be - in art.

Artist Statement
Everyone is an artist.
Images are a medium that makes the viewer receptive to the fact that we are all capable of influencing the fate and future of humanity.”

Elena Vostryakova is a full time artist over than 10 years who lives and works in Vienna as painter, sculptor, ceramic and collage creator. She was born in the north of Russia in the republic of Karelia bordering Finland. As in many border areas inhabited by different nationalities, she had the opportunity to absorb different cultures - Karelian, Russian, Finnish. Her family has been surrounded by creative people since her childhood. The artist's father was a successful Karelian children's author. Mother is a ceramic designer, through whom she came into contact with the visual arts at an early age. In the in-house workshop, she was always allowed to work on a few pieces.
After studying cultural sciences at the St. Petersburg Academy of Culture and German studies at the Petrozavodsk State University, Elena Vostryakova worked as a museum guide and methodologist at the architectural, historical and ethnographic open-air museum located on the small picturesque island of Kizhi in Lake Onega in the northern Russian republic of Karelia..While working in the museum, she became interested and came into close contact with the old North Russian icon painting and since then she has always felt its influence in her works.
In 2009 she quit her job at the museum and devoted herself entirely to art. Later, having moved to Europe, she reflected all her previous experience in her works of art comparing of life then and now.
Elena Vostryakova likes to work with randomly found objects and turn them into original collages. The main topic of her art is Time. She finds her inspiration in the sciences that deal with Time - History and Futurology - and tries to find the answers to the questions what our future can be, what scenarios can we imagine, and how we can feel more enthusiastic about it despite the fact that in recent times there are fewer grounds for optimism and hope in the world.
Her works are constantly presented in galleries in Vienna and Budapest, and are also in private collections in Russia, Austria, Finland, Hungary, Portugal, Switzerland, South Africa and Japan.
