About me
My name is Elena Dzyuba. I’m an architect and watercolor artist based in Moscow, Russia.
I’ve been painting my whole life. It goes from the architectural background that I’m completely fascinated with the cityscapes. The poetry of cathedrals and huts, heart bit of the city, the life of people. I paint my impression of the places trying to emphasize the contradictions - between abstract and detail, clear shapes and rainy reflections, architecture and human scale. I especially love painting on the spot where the time is short and there is kind of a gamble to capture the essence of the subject. The transparent watercolor media perfectly fits to give the monumental subject spontaneous, emotional and light impact.
I graduated from Volga State Technical University, Russia, Yoshkar-Ola in 2005 as a master of Architecture and Engineering. Member of Union Watercolor Russia.
