Elena Justus
- a mixed media artist who expresses her vision of world processes through the prism of symbolism combined with realistic painting.
A significant period in the development of her work was her travels to Asia and Europe. There she got acquainted with religion, people, their customs and traditions, studied mythology, talked with people of a spiritual nature, analyzing and reproducing the accumulated experience in her works.
Each of her works has main symbols - a circle, in its original or other form: it is the beginning of the study of the picture, as well as words and color, through which the symbolism is revealed. In her works, she deeply studies the concepts of the duality of the world, world leaders, how through the centuries we are connected with mythology and religion, studying which we can come to a deeper analysis of our problems, understand that there is no single truth, each situation is dual and the future of the world depends only on us.

Painting "Moirae"
Oil/ acrylic/ texture paste/ canvas/ beads, 2024
Hermits, virgins who became higher than the gods, three original destinies, who are they?
The first, denotes the growing moon - Clotho, who skillfully throws wool on the spindle, fair-haired and stele-faced, serves as the beginning of the path and gives hope.
Lachesis - the second, fiery and bright as life itself, she is the caretaker who measures the thread and the wool will come. She is the full moon.
Atropos - dark and unknown, full of mysteries, she is the strictest and quickest to punish, symbolizes the waning moon.
The change of phases of the moon draws a parallel between immortality, cyclical renewal and rebirth. Under the curtain, the duality of the image of the Moirae is revealed, which is difficult to perceive and feel initially. Only the present is truly valuable. Creation, existence and resolution are the essence of our existence.
