Yelena Strokin - Still Life Photography  - Completed - October 2016

Upon seeing Yelena Strokin's images for the first time, the viewer can't help but be captured by their elegant, Old World beauty.  The glowing, Caravaggioesque light that defines her work imparts a jewel-like quality to glass and fruits.  Bold colors of produce, flowers, butterflies and European antiques set against a rich background are arranged in carefully crafted compositions that recall the old Masters of the Flemish style of painting from the 17th century.  Vegetables seen through Yelena's lens, are luxurious pieces of sculpture.  Sumptuous textures, whether the shimmer of fine fabric, the luminosity of fine porcelain and old silver or the earthiness of rough wood add strength and richness to her images.
