Born in Kiev, Ukraine, Yelena never formally learned how to paint. Yelena Kimelblat started to paint in 2008 and art became a means for Yelena to share with others her vision of life. Yelena does not call herself an artist. She is “a woman, who paints”. Yelena is avoiding any identification, any, even the most pretty labels. She was not afraid to look inside herself — into the void, where you can perish or get everything. Yelena got everything —she started to paint.
