The desire of experiment new techniques and other circumstances surrounding brought Elena approaching pastels 

She loves making art with pastels because they produce brilliant colors and obviusly, if you work hard, you can obtain realistic effect, you can just dive right in without needing paintbrushes, solvents or a palette.

All she really need to get started are some pastel sticks, a sheet of paper, and your fingers! No other medium allows you to apply rich color to the support as quickly as you can with pastels.

She used pastels for all kinds of subjects: portraits, animals and flowers.
