Elena Lanceleux

Elena Lanceleux is a painter of Russian origin based in Champagne, near Reims. Her practice centers on sharing her sense of wonder and encouraging viewers to see the world from new perspectives. In recent years, she has focused on trees, notably in her "Trees of Light" series, and currently in "The Souls of Trees," where she pares back her compositions to emphasize form, presence, movement, and emotion. Inspired by the nearby Faux de Verzy, Lanceleux often finds figures and gestures within the trees she depicts. She works primarily with acrylics, incorporating structural paste and gold metallic leaf into her paintings.
