Meet the Young Visual Artist Yelena York, Who Stuns Viewers with Her Amazing Art and Creativity

Yelena York, a Los Angeles-based visual artist, is well-known for her stunning artistic skills and creativity. She has strong attention to detail and always believes in delivering the best artistic product every time she holds a paintbrush in her hands.

Yelena’s artistic skills have been applauded and widely praised by various artists, art critics, and art lovers. Yelena’s very first collection created a record when she used markers and 22-carat gold leaves to complete her art on canvases. The most interesting aspect of Yelena’s skills is how she uses markers for her painting while using them as freely as a paintbrush. She earned a lot of international recognition for her amazing skills. 

Yelena York has always wanted to be an artist, and she is now living her dream. She continues to fascinate her fans and followers with her stunning art and visualization skills.

Yelena York has recently showcased her new collection ‘I AM’ in Los Angeles at a private event. The audience was speechless after having a glimpse at Yelena’s marvel.

Can you believe she used just three colors to express whatever she wanted to convey in her painting?

“I AM is very close to my heart. It’s much more than portraits. My new art collection is all about ‘feelings’ and ‘present moment.’ I chose all my colors thoughtfully, with each of them representing a particular theme. I over-emphasized red in my art because it represents blood—the life—without it, the mortal can’t survive. In the collection you can see forms, yet they are in a blur, this was mainly done to take the attention away from the lines and to concentrate more on creating a Feeling, an emotion, a moment that was forgotten, pushed to a side or fought for. Paintings represent Strength in any form, they represent the core essence of us, to connect and to let ourselves just BE,” Yelena York said.

As expected, Yelena’s recent exhibition turned out to be a huge hit among her audience. Art critics and enthusiasts also appreciated her older works, which were also made part of this art exhibition.

Yelena York’s stippling and pointillism works were on display along with her ‘Red-themed’ I AM collection.

Yelena York is a very humble, down-to-earth, and polite woman. She has accomplished so much in her life, but she still wants to do a lot of things. Every time you see a marker on her hand, you can guess she is on her way to drawing another masterpiece.

Yelena York already won a lot of awards, including the Best Artist at the Oxford International Art Fair (2015), Dubai Best Artist Award (2018), and MUSA International Venezia Art Biennale Award (2019) within a span of just two-three years. UNESCO Woman’s Essence Show 2020 in Rome. She was also nominated for the Shanghai International Art Fair 2020

Yelena York was always creative. When she was a child, Yelena would enjoy spending time drawing and sketching. However, as she grew up, she specialized her art in pointillism/ stippling works, which refer to a specialized art technique in which a particular theme or stuff is expressed using multiple ink dots.

“I attempt to use hundreds and thousands of ink dots in each of my artworks to display the realistic elements and make it look three-dimensional. I finish my artwork with adequate layering to enhance its look. I’m a perfectionist to the core. If I notice even a slight error or mistake, I would start again from scratch,” Yelena York explained.

Yelena York has now become a popular figure within the Los Angeles art circuit with a global fan-following. Her mastery over pointillism and stippling with equal proficiency has left many art lovers in awe of her charming persona and creative abilities.

When at work, Yelena uses freehand style, gold-leafing, and stunning color combinations to make her artwork more appealing and captivating. Since most of her artworks consist of millions of ink dots,  some pieces also take more than a year to get completed.

As a passionate visual artist, Yelena makes sure that each of her artworks successfully showcases her thoughts and themes. So she focuses more on her art than on the time that it actually takes to complete the project.
