Elen Bezhen is a figurative painter exploring the relationship between nature and humanity, with a focus on the feminine image. Born in the North Caucasus, her love for nature began early and deepened through careful observation of landscapes. She later moved to Moscow, earning a classical art education at the Academy of Fine Arts before studying contemporary art at the Rodchenko Moscow School of Photography and Multimedia.
Deeply influenced by the Northern Renaissance masters, she integrates their techniques into her work, blending tradition with modernity. Her textured, vibrant paintings reflect this fusion, evolving over time into a distinctive style.
Now based in Grenoble, France, Bezhen continues to refine her artistic vision, balancing classical influences with contemporary expression.
