On the path of her creative process Elena Perfanova always aims to provoke herself as well as the viewers’ interest helping them take a bold glimpse beyond the primary image and take a look at themselves, and find their essence projected onto imagination. The aim is for the hidden to become visible and for the obvious to get a secondary and unostentatious meaning. Her works’ direction helps secrets be revealed, focus be changed, paths be found.
