Elina Yumasheva Art

Elina Yumasheva is a London-based emerging artist. Working with abstraction and landscapes in mixed media, she explores the intersection of art and science. Her research focuses on environmental issues – being able to emotionally express them as an artist and decipher the science behind them creates her unique signature style.

Elina uses light to build emotional connections with viewers and make them feel understood. Through her work, one may observe how the portrayal of light moves from projecting strength, firmness and sharpness to the subtle feeling of softness and fragility. She enjoys discovering the way the light intensifies emotions.

As a passionate environmentalist, she draws her inspiration from nature that is fragile yet self-sufficient and resilient. It often alludes to the eternal. Her art explores the unlikely connection between the concepts of nature, self-acceptance and change.

Elina holds a Master's degree in Environmental Science from the University of Edinburgh and a Certificate in Painting from the Art Academy London.
