Vera Elnitskaya is an artist who is very difficult to gauge as she is often carried away by her formal research. She is very unpredictable yet she succeeds to convey a meaning through non-obvious forms and non-natural colors. Vera Elnitskaya is neither a realist nor figurative. Her idea of Moscow is full of romantic scenes of a beautiful and colorful city. Her landscapes do not always geometrically or perpendicularly meet, but they join on a much deeper and inner level or vision which the artist has and wants to share with the audience. Vera Elnitskaya uses lots of color splashes and bold strokes in most of her landscape paintings. In her paintings the nightlife of Moscow, streets, metro stations, buildings, rivers and churches become alive and real. She has painted a lot about the lifestyle and modern trends of Italy on being invited by the association, Russiarte.
