She uses different paints such as 3D/acrylic/ceramic/glass/ink. All ornaments that Elena creates are original and never repeated. Most of her ornaments are painted in Mandala style Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". - Wikipedia. For Elena it’s a very meditative and a spiritual process, Elena never sketches them and uses unique dot-to-dot technique for her ceramic plates, every plate is "one of a kind", ideas and inspiration comes from all around - art, music, architecture etc. 

 Right now Elena is working on her drawings and on using her patterns on different products such as fabric, i phone covers and many more
