Elena Polupanova is a contemporary visual artist who lives and works in Dubai. Her artistic research, influenced by early 20th century Expressionism, is deeply linked to an introspective imagery. where human nature is analyzed in its intimacy through a language that tends towards abstraction. the body dissolves in spots on her canvases and deep blacks absorb light until they completely cancel out the depth of the image. leaving the subject in a limbo between from and inconsistency.
