Entrancing abstractions map artist Elena Andronescu’s work with lively sensitivity and sentimentality. “I would like my art to touch the soul, to arouse curiosity, to ask questions related to essential things,” says Elena. Painting has been and will always be her first love, starting when she was only four. Elena dreamed of enrolling at the prestigious Academy of Arts but studied earth physics to support herself. Defying all odds, she held on to her dream and later pursued an art education as a single mother. Elena appointed the largest room in her house to convert into her studio, where music listens to meditative music, inducing inner peace. When she’s not painting, doing the housework helps her take her mind off things. Elena and her husband also own a painting materials business sourced from European producers.
