Elena de Varda had personal exibitions in Italy, Poland, Germany, Austria and England.
Through her painting she talk to every shade of color and captures the intensity of elements through the circle, symbolic form of the universe and obsession in her paintings.
Her paintings and contemplative life, is inspired by a vision of human energy, humankind as vital totem linked between the earth and sky.
For the artist, with Polish ( mather) and Italian (Father) haritege, the painting is an excess of energy fixed on the canvas and distributed in the outdoor environment. For this reason, Elena de Varda sometimes tries to expose in particular locations, abandoned and forgotten, to restore energy and attention to those places: prisons, abandoned factories, outskirts of cities, in addition to the classical galleries.
Her painting follows the ancient dictates: alone with great accuracy, she prepares the canvases (of pure linen impregnated with rabbit skin glue and chalk).
There, she elaborates the various archetypes of her imaginary world, princes, princesses, female angels, circles, and elements of the universe - basis of our ancient philosophy (earth, water, fire, air - the element Aristotelian "ether" in Eastern view is instead called "chi," vital energy).
