Abstract paintings with depth and presence - art for collectors and thoughtfully curated homes.
GESTURAL JOURNEYS OF TRANSFORMATION

Elena Done is a dynamic artist whose intuitive, gestural paintings explore identity, transformation, and the passage of time. Through vivid colour fields, fluid lines, and explosive brushstrokes, she captures the tension between order and chaos, vitality and fragility.


Resilience
acrylic and oil on canvas, 120x120 cm
4000 ( excl VAT or delivery)
Resilience” is an ability to be happy, successful etc again after something difficult or bad has happened. In this large scale painting you will find thick impasto layers that reveal traces of what is underneath, suggesting endurance over time. Cracks and Repairs symbolising strength in vulnerability. Contrast is about fragility meeting strength.
Dazed & Amazed
acrylic & oil on canvas, 120x120cm
4000 ( excl VAT or delivery)
“Dazed&Amazed”. Sometimes you pray for the best , but still accept every turn to happen. And all over the sudden ! YES! -all your prayers come true!
Uncontainable
acrylic & oil on canvas, 120x120cm
4000 ( excl VAT or delivery)
“Uncontainable”, acrylic and oil on canvas , 120x120cm
This work was born from emotional intensity — a need to move, to roar, to refuse stillness. It speaks to the energy bursting out of form, the refusal to stay within boundaries — emotional, physical, expressive.
It’s about breaking out - a force bursting beyond limits, the release .
Every stroke speaks of a movement that cannot be held back. For me — this piece erupts. That red shape feels almost volcanic, like a creature or force mid-transformation.
That red form is alive now, charging across the surface like a force that refuses to be silenced. It’s wild and purposeful.
It’s raw, energetic, unapologetic — a real rupture from softer previous works. It holds its own kind of resilience: furious, electric resilience.
A painting that doesn’t ask — it demands.
Torsión
acrylic & oil on canvas, 92x73cm
900( excl VAT or delivery)
Everything in this painting turns — but nothing flees.
The form coils around itself, not to escape, but to affirm.
Every curve is a muscle under pressure. Every line echoes an internal struggle.

Torsión does not seek balance. It holds tension without breaking.
Here, resilience is compressed motion — a force bending, but never surrendering.


Inner Flare (Fulgor Interno)
acrylic & oil on canvas, 92x73cm
900( excl VAT or delivery)
There is no explosion here.
There is a light that endures beneath the surface — a flame that asks for no attention, but never goes out.
The form stretches and drifts, not to escape, but to radiate from within.
Fulgor Interno is the memory of fire,
the trace of what once burned,
the glow that continues pulsing under the skin.

The Contained Current
La Corriente Contenida
acrylic & oil on canvas,100x50cm
900( excl VAT or delivery)
A force courses through this surface — not in eruption, but in restraint.
Each gesture is a held breath, each line a tightened wire.
Here, the current does not collapse or flee; it coils inward, gathering tension.
It resists release not out of fear, but out of resolve.

In this piece, resilience is not loud.
It is the slow, unseen voltage beneath form —
the strength it takes to remain whole.

Keep the fire burning
oil on canvas, 130x97cm
1900
“Cracks" are small fractures in the smooth fabric of our destinies. Some cracks stay with us forever, creating a bizarre pattern, while others shatter our hearts, souls, and lives. Sometimes no matter what news are coming , how your life can turn , you have to have hope, and put the wood into the chimney of relationships, to keep the fire burning.
Where it breaks, it blooms
acrylic, oil , oil sticks and oil pastels on canvas, 110x110
2300 excl VAT or delivery)
“Where it breaks, it blooms” is evoking place and transformation. It carries such a powerful sense of beauty emerging from fracture. The painting suggests a dialogue between fragility and growth.
From Stone, Blossom
acrylic, oil , oil sticks and oil pastels on canvas, 110x110
2300 ( excl VAT or delivery)
“From stone, Blossom”. With this painting I continue to research growth and transformation.. - trying to find the best metaphor for life finding its way through hardship.
Lighthearted
oil on canvas, 81x100cm
1200
I was inspired by the rising sun on the crispy morning, the first ray of light on your face while your eyes are still closed. I felt enthusiastic for the new dawn and a new day.
I want the viewers to feel light from inside! To feel liberated! To evoke the Lightness of being!
Carnival
oil on canvas, 81x100cm
3400
The Carnival evokes a whirlwind of emotions that are vibrant, intense and deeply visceral. It is a celebration on Freedom, where the boundaries of everyday life dissolve into a kaleidoscope of joy, spontaneity and collective euphoria.
Masquerade
oil on canvas, 81x100cm
3400
Throughout these melodic canvases (Masquerade and Carnival) I painted colorful networks of serpentine lines that flow hypnotically throughout the picture plane. 
Such interest in line, gesture, and material experimentation has always been at the heart of my painting practices.
I want a viewer to feel celebration and joy.

Keep on going -1
oil on canvas, 91x60cm
1700
For me, painting is a physical act, an engagement with the materiality of the medium, but it is also deeply psychological. I am fascinated by the fluidity of paint itself, its ability to evoke both visceral emotion and fleeting moments of narrative.

Late wine dialogues -1
oil on canvas, 91x62cm

I wanted to blend lyrical abstraction with figurative elements , exploring nostalgia for warm summer nights, human relationships and nature intangible aspects. This work delves into emotions and the human psyche, highlighting rapport, sensitivity, desire, ecstasy and turmoil, proximity and distance.
