About Elleny Gherghe Art

Short Bio

Elleny Gherghe is a visual artist currently living and working in Alcaidesa, Spain. Her relationship with painting began in her early childhood, during which time she discovered her favourite environment and on this day, oil on canvas. The themes of preferred rooms have been strongly influenced by the beauty of nature, throughout the spectrum of the picturesque hometown, Comanesti, Romania. After graduating from the National College of Art, George Apostu, from Bacău, Elleny studied at the National University of Arts in Bucharest, being licensed since 2016 in mural painting.

In recent years, her works have been exhibited in Romania and internationally, and are part of private collections in the countries such as Romania, Germany, Spain, Gibraltar, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the USA.

The main themes and sources of inspiration for her works reflect the perfect harmony between the beauty of nature and the human figure, through experiences and emotions. Her style is realism with a surreal influence, the works have a romantic, poetic atmosphere, shrouded in mystery, which allows the privilege of experimenting a completely different story from her, in relation to her works of art.
