A taste for detail, a sketchy drawing and the pleasure of a simple narrative are the main dowry of the artist Elena Aseeva. Her works are born on the parikolorizm sketch, a direct intuitive surge and neglect of perspective and academic rules.

The artist's style is erotic and infantile at the same time, fabulous and fantastic, full of mirrors and imagination. We can notice the similarity of the works of Elena Aseeva with the paintings of Marc Chagall, especially in a free and dreamy, full of illusions, language that they both use ... ". (Daniele Radini Tedeschi, professor, art critic, curator, for the catalog of the exhibition Il Piacere (Consorti Gallery, Rome, Italy).
