About the Item
The Geometry of Memory” is an intimate still life created in a painterly, impressionistic manner with echoes of classical realism. The artwork is executed in oil with a dense, tactile impasto surface, where each stroke carries its own physical presence. The artist applies paint in layered, vibrating brush marks that build up texture and give the objects a quiet, almost sculptural weight.
The palette is softly muted — dominated by ochres, greens, and subdued whites — creating a harmonious, slightly nostalgic atmosphere. The objects appear ordinary at first glance, yet the composition elevates them into something contemplative, almost symbolic.
Vertical forms — the cylindrical container, the upright tools, the stacked papers — give the still life a subtle architectural rhythm. Each object seems to function as a structural “coordinate” within an inner map of recollection, suggesting that memory itself can be organized through the geometry of everyday things.
The painting can be read as a philosophical and quasi-scientific exploration: an attempt to document “data” — light, form, texture — and translate them into an emotional diagram. In this sense, the work becomes both experiment and reflection, turning the still life into a small laboratory where matter, time, and perception meet.
Elena Bulatova is a Munich-based painter working primarily in oil, often in the alla prima technique. Born in Moscow, Russia in 1981, she received early training in a children’s art school, laying the foundation for a lifelong dedication to painting.
Her artistic practice is rooted in academic traditions, yet she continuously seeks freedom and individuality in her work. Bulatova often paints en plein air, working directly from life to capture the essence of a moment with immediacy and sensitivity. She is especially drawn to subjects found in her everyday surroundings—landscapes, people, portraits, and the human figure—exploring the natural beauty and quiet poetry of the visible world.
Over the past twenty years, Bulatova has developed her skills through a combination of self-directed study and mentorship with experienced artists. She has studied in diverse settings, including traditional icon painting in Moscow and the AktHof in Munich. Currently, she is enrolled as an external student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, deepening her engagement with classical technique and contemporary practice.

Elena Bulatova (1981) is a Russian artist living in Munich, Germany. After fifteen years of painting dedicatedly and hermetically - alternately self-taught and under the guidance of older painters - Elena Bulatova wishes to share her practice with the world. In her constant self-study, Bulatova has sought instruction from a variety of sources - from the Eastern Orthodox icon painting school in Moscow to the Academy of Fine arts in Munich. She is currently enrolled externally at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich to better understand the modern side of the art world. She believes that the true value of art lies in the meditative process that goes into creating such a work and in the years of mastery that a person can undertake and overcome to become a master in any field. The themes of her work are: nature, animals and authentic human beauty.
