Morning Secrets

Artist Elena Lyakir sees nature as a source of essence, spirit, and myth. Inspired by both nature’s beauty and fierce power, she creates photographs that translate the visceral process of seeing into works of art that capture the depth of interior worlds, memories, sentiments, and dreams. Her unique techniques result in abstract, painterly pieces that evoke a feeling of flux and transience, suggesting the fragility and ephemeral nature of the human experience.
