About
Represented by Saatchi Art Gallery, Elena Zaharia aka Elza, creates pop art paintings and new medias designs. By using popular themes such as sexuality and everyday life, Elena wants the viewer to become part of the art as a kind of added component. In her new medias , multilayered images arise in which the fragility and instability of our seemingly certain reality is questioned. Her mixed media artworks are based on inspiring situations: Her use of colors are visions that reflect a sensation of indisputability and serene contemplation, combined with subtle details of eccentric or odd elements. By emphasising aesthetics, she seduces the viewer into a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the stream of daily events. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate the human condition in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic meaning in everyday life. Her works often refers to pop and mass culture. Using symbols she creates situations and breaks the passivity of the spectator, she touches various overlapping themes and strategies.Her works sometimes radiate descriptive intensities of emerging beauty. The inherent visual seductiveness, along with the conciseness of the exhibitions, further complicates the reception of their manifold layers of meaning.
