« Winged pigs and a fragmented figure turn an impossible scene into a playful question about freedom, belief and appearances. »
— Elena Kachalova, à propos de You Don't Fool MeYou Don’t Fool Me is an original oil painting on canvas by Elena Kachalova, created in 2022. A fragmented nude female figure appears against a pale blue sky while two winged pigs move around her. Figurative realism meets the impossible, bringing symbolic irony to a light, cloud-filled composition. The image invites interpretations of freedom, rebellion and scepticism, with the familiar expression “when pigs fly” given a visual presence. Dimensions: 60 × 60 × 3.5 cm (width × height × depth). A unique, hand-painted and signed original, sold unframed. Available directly from the artist in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Price and delivery options are available on request.
Elena Kachalova is a Ukrainian figurative artist based in Dubai, working in oil painting on canvas and graphite drawing on paper. Her practice brings together academic drawing, classical painting techniques and contemporary subjects. Her work ranges from portraits and anatomical studies to symbolic and surreal compositions.

Carefully observed detail often meets unexpected imagery, exploring human emotion and the tension between beauty and unease. Animal portraits form another part of her practice. Her exhibition history includes solo exhibitions in Donetsk, participation in exhibitions in Kyiv, independent exhibitions in Europe, and exhibitions in Russia and Dubai. In Dubai, she participated in the national exhibition dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the United Arab Emirates, World Art Dubai in 2024, and other exhibitions.
