ELENA KURKA IS A PAINTER AND PHOTOGRAPHER CURRENTLY BASED IN SPAIN, WORKING PRIMARILY WITH FILM PHOTOGRAPHY.

HER WORK EXPLORES SOLITUDE, INTIMACY, FEMININITY, MEMORY, AND SELF-PORTRAITURE. DEEPLY INSPIRED BY NATURE, CULTURE, AND HUMAN CONNECTION, SHE PHOTOGRAPHS HER SURROUNDINGS, FRIENDS, AND FLEETING MOMENTS THROUGH A PERSONAL AND DELICATE LENS.

MOVING BETWEEN OBSERVATION AND PERSONAL REFLECTION, HER IMAGES ARE OFTEN SHAPED BY A SENSE OF LONGING, PRESENCE, AND ABSENCE. THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY AND PAINTING, SHE CREATES VISUAL DIARIES THAT ARE DEEPLY PERSONAL, EXPLORING THE EMOTIONS, MEMORIES, AND ATMOSPHERES THAT INHABIT QUIETLY THE PASSING OF TIME.
