Vision
Elina Anatole creates large eyed self-portraits that embody a sense of wonder for the world she had as a child. These vulnerable, sexualized, yet strong willed female figures are placed awkwardly in the spaces as they confront the viewer with a direct gaze. She paints primarily on wood that so closely resembles the sensation of her own skin tone and warmth making her stylized figures seem real.
