Not only has Elena Figurina found her own, unmistakable expressive style and color scheme; she has created an entire world of her own, always mysterious, wistful and discontented, populated by unique creatures - the carriers of the artist's emotions and reflections. Sometimes they come as menacing phantoms blazing with subdued fire; sometimes they are quiet and angelic.

They can be aggressive, dreamy, reflective, or watchful. Carved into hot canvas, spread-eagled across the painting, these creatures are always meaningful. Figurina's compositions have the quality of a medieval foretoken or a prophetic dream.

The fierce and formidable ornamentalism of Figurina's paintings, the edgy spirituality of her characters, are paradoxically yet harmoniously blended with a sense of equilibrium and tranquility achieved through unique compositional balance, elaborate eurhythmics of strokes and color masses.
