VISUAL ARTIST
ELENA LIMKINA
Elena Limkina's illustrations are detailed and precise, but her portrayal of the natural geometry of her subjects has a way of bringing out the sublime. Instead of appearing clinical, there's a dreamlike quality to the plants and animals on which much of her work focuses. Her art captures the elegance of a puma's slink or the pride in an eagle's roving gaze despite being totally still. In this way, they're reminiscent of the biological illustrations of John Audubon, treating flora and fauna with the utmost respect, and, even more importantly, a sense of wonder.
