Elena Bulatova

Elena Bulatova, originally from Russia now is an international artist who resides in Palm Springs, California, and Las Vegas, NV.

Bulatova began painting at a young age, and the arts were an integral part of her childhood. “I really enjoy painting,” Bulatova said. “It gives me an opportunity to meet all kinds of people. I think the main reason is that I want to make something I love. When you love something, you enjoy it and you never work a day in your life.”

Her paintings explode with vibrant colors featuring significant splashes of metallic paint and the use of mixed media. She has enjoyed this past season of art shows because it gave her a chance to interact with potential customers and reveal the motivations behind her work.

“I think it’s good to bring a young vibe and something fresh,” said Bulatova. “All of my work is very bright, very colorful, and very positive. I like to bring energy and positive message in my paintings.”

Elena creates her widely collected paintings and sculptures at her studio in Palm Springs, Ca. Bulatova exhibits full-time at her namesake galleries Elena Bulatova Fine Art at City Center Las Vegas, Palm Desert, and Laguna Beach, California.

Bulatova’s artistic career catapulted in California putting hundreds of her Abstracts Paintings and her famous sculptures Lollipops and Popsicles "Sweet Life" series to many important private and public collections around the globe during the last 10 years. Elena’s artworks are now in many private collections in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Russia. Elena Bulatova Galleries 2017.

“Affirmative Mirrors”

Elena Bulatova's Affirmative Mirrors collection redefines the concept of art viewing by placing you, the observer, at the center of the artistic experience. Crafted as mirrors with a backdrop of dynamic, color-shifting LED lights, these interactive artworks are a powerful reminder of one's inherent self-worth.

Bulatova articulates, "These art pieces, executed on polished stainless steel with mirrored surfaces, grant the viewer a chance to see their reflection while absorbing affirmations." Beyond the stunning visual, the letters continuously shift hues through LED lights, offering an additional sensory dimension. Each piece includes a remote control for personalized control over the LED lights. Presently, the collection showcases affirmations such as "You Are Awesome," "You Are Amazing," and "You Are Beautiful," encapsulating universally relatable concepts. For those who have faced discrimination, felt unaccepted, underappreciated, or disrespected, this artwork serves as a reflective beacon of their inherent value.

Bulatova's aim is to propagate positivity, using her unique collection to impart affirmative messages to viewers. Through her artistry, she champions a movement advocating positive change, asserting that positivity is the essence of contemporary allure. Art isn't merely a decorative piece; it can significantly influence the ambiance of a space. Hanging an Affirmative Mirror in your environment infuses positivity, uplifting all who encounter it. These artworks are not to be missed; they stand as a constant reminder to every viewer of their intrinsic worth.
