Paint is the main medium through which Elena Mahoney explores, discovers and polishes her potential as an artist and a person. With the use of oil, acrylic, watercolour and gouache techniques the artist delves into her fascination with the human and animal figure - the primary motif of her work.

Her painting is part of a continuous search for beauty and the result of a determination to follow in the footsteps of some of her main influences from the art world.

Elena's paintings are characterized by exaggerated colours and magical settings. They embody the artist's vision of beauty and ambition to create an independent, subjective, yet at the same time universal body of work. The realistic representation of her subjects is combined with expressive gestures, exploring the versatility of her medium. Drips, intuitive brushstrokes, subtle details, drawings and glazes add a rawness and abstraction to Elena's work.

The artist currently lives and works in Spain.
