About the Item

Elena Burykina's "Circle of Fire" (2025) is an original, handmade oil painting on panel. Artist Statement: Helmet in the Classical Style French, Paris Probably ca. 1760-70 The great weight of this extraordinary helmet (over thirteen pounds) indicates that it was never intended to be worn. It served a purely decorative function, perhaps as part of an ornamental panoply of arms that graced some rich interior. The mounts are equal in quality to the best ormolu furniture mounts made in Paris around 1760, when Neoclassical design was superseding Rococo. By the eighteenth century, the purpose of armor was chiefly symbolic. Armor based on Classical prototypes invoked the heroic qualities of ancient Greece and Rome. Representations of such armor were widely used in painting, the decorative arts, and the theater. Historical references per the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Elena is an artist based in Chattanooga, TN USA. Elena always wanted to be an artist. As a child in Ukraine, she received a classical art education which she used for over a decade as an architect. It was an applied form of her desire to create art. Elena moved away from architecture into teaching art to children and painting when she could, and finally she was able to focus all her time being an artist and learning. She moved to America in 2013 and turned her full attention to painting. She tries to use every opportunity to learn anything new – new tools, mediums, techniques – anything new at all. Elena’s favorite subjects to paint are people with their personalities, moods, thoughts, and favorite things. “I really like to explore the personalities of my models through building the structure of portraiture with oil paint and paintbrush.” Her current focus is portraiture. She seeks a connection with the model that she can translate to the surface. Elena is a member of The Portrait Society of America. She received an award of Signature Status with the Portrait Society of America in 2022.In
