The Discerner Elena Kourenkova Established self-taught Russian-born (1966) artist. Graduated and worked as an Architect in Moscow. Moved to Glasgow in 1996. Articles concerning my work in local and national press, several awards. I focus on peculiarities of everyday events, human foibles and characters, interactions. We busy ourselves with tasks, we look but don’t really see and we listen but don’t really hear. We forget that the most important thing is to be happy and not to be important. My subjects go about their business as if no-one is looking, but sometimes we see one thing but they tell us another. Like many things in life-all is not what it seems. In other words, I try to reflect life as we see it but don’t always notice. “Charlston” - £ 1390 Oil on canvas 55 x 55cm “I Who Holds All The Aces” - £1690 Oil on canvas 60 x 60cm Available to view at the Discerner’s Residence in Mayfair “Ironing Bored” - £1790 Oil on canvas 68 x 68cm T: 07957731361 “Prim & Proper” - £1190 Oil on canvas 50 x 50cm E: [email protected] W: elenakourenkova-art.uk For all enquiries, please contact Elena or Celine at [email protected] or 0207 491 9925 www.thediscer ne r . c om 9
