Elena Baranova

As the seasons change, I am drawn to the moments in between. In this work, the road becomes both a physical journey and a passage through memory, while the luminous sky captures the fleeting beauty of transformation. I wanted to evoke the quiet enchantment of twilight, when light, color, and time seem to slow, inviting reflection on change not as an ending, but as a beginning. . Elena Baranova is a Russian-born artist based in Los Angeles. She received her classical art training in St. Petersburg before immigrating to Canada, where she earned a BFA from Concordia University in Montreal and continued her studies at Parsons School of Design and the School of Visual Arts. Alongside a career in film as a costume designer, dialect coach, and producer, she has maintained a lifelong painting practice and continues to study with acclaimed painter Zhenya Gershman
