Official artist of Central Academic Theatre of
Russian Army, graduate of Russian Academy of
Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (2004),
graduate of Moscow Academic Art Lyceum of Russian
Art Academy (1998) Elena Kukanova was born in
1979 in Moscow. She studied at the Art School and
Lyceum of Moscow from 1988 to 1998. For the next
six years Kukanova attended the Art Academy of
Moscow where the focus was entirely on portraits.
Her father is a Colonel in the Russian Army. She
grew up in an environment where she was exposed
to the military world of Russia. She loves the
theatre and currently works in one of Moscows
theatres as a costume and scenery designer. She
also loves Italy and France, and that is
reflected in her paintings Unfortunately,
Kukanova became allergic to oil paint, which
caused her to stop painting for a period of time.
Eventually it was suggested for her to try
alternative oil paints and different types of
polishes that are not as toxic. She is an
incredibly romantic individual, but at the same
time she is very private. She prefers to spend
her time taking walks in the city parks and
boulevards. Her favorite artists are Ilya Repin
and Ivan Kramskoy. She is also heavily influenced
by the Pre-Raphaelites. Elena Kukanovas
paintings are the pride of many private
collections around the world.
