Jenia

Jenia’s paintings exemplify beauty, vibrancy and even a hint of magic. Although painting in essence freezes scenes in time, Jenia’s landscapes spring to life, dazzling with light and movement. Whether painting the forest or a body of water, Jenia soaks her scenes in sun through the ample use of cool, bright whites. Even when the subject matter shifts to portraiture, highlights usher in fluidity and radiance. Blues and greens may dominate her canvases, but it is the brilliant white accents that jolt the senses. The color combinations are so tantalizingly crisp that they make age-old subject matter appear fresh and exciting. Stoic birches, crashing waves, and magnificent mountains captivate and amaze in their natural splendor. It is almost as if the viewer has stumbled upon a sacred trajectory of land.

Jenia makes her art “so familiar you can hear the waves in the bay or the crunching of the snow under your feet.” The Russian-born artist’s paintings join the ranks of global culture.
