 Yelena Tylkina
To Yelena Tylkina, the lush flowers and vegetation depicted in her watercolors express her deepest sensuality. “It is no exaggeration to say that, for me, there is no greater or more powerful symbol of sensuality and beauty than the flower.” Ripe fruits and exotic vases are other preferred objects in the artist’s still-lifes. Tylkina lived and studied at several art institutions in the former USSR. Her work has been exhibited at the Cold Springs Museum, the Contemporary Museum in Maryland and at the Nassau Coliseum. |
