Thinking through drawing, writing and painting fuels a deep interest in complex thinking, collective intelligence, indeterminacy and the spaces in-between. Elina’s practice is reconfiguring into a meeting of the non-verbal and verbal via drawing, installation and spoken word. Through drawing and painting, pushing the expressive qualities of gesture, the human form and materials; currently writing a book about painting, relational aesthetics, meaning-making and sense-making; and, at the start of the pandemic, launched Dialogues for Artists in a Changing World, a space for thinkers and makers to generate and share ideas. All of these collide in a multi-faceted creative practice. Born in London, brought up speaking English and French, gained a degree in Philosophy then a Masters in Cultural Theory, lived for 10 years in Madrid and after a short stay in Paris now works between Barcelona, London and the virtual sphere.
