Relic Hunter Fairy Tale. Mixed Media Artwork.

Concept

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.
