About

Hi, I’m Yelena Dyumin, both a professional artist and art educator. The creation and refinement of my unique style has been something I’ve spent decades perfecting my craft and unique style with its whimsical humour, textural sensitivity and vibrant sense of colour. Although I’m a current resident of Sydney, Australia, I was born and raised in Omsk, Russia. As a result of this mixed culture, my aim has been to blend my eclectic background in European art, experiences, and classics with the fresh Australian colours of both life and nature I’ve come to find.

I’m most passionate about painting and drawing and have been involved with the two since childhood. I’ve always loved the experience of losing myself in thought and diving into the world of art and imagination. This creative introspection allows me to produce art that is not only beautiful, but one-of-a-kind. I’ve been told again and again that this uncanny ability to illustrate the exceptional beauty of everyday life is what makes my artwork lovable.

Throughout my career, I’ve accumulated a vast repertoire of artistic techniques that have allowed me to better illustrate my intentions as an artist. My aim is to create unforgettable works and impart a deep emotional connection between objects and human beings whenever I begin a new piece. As a result, most of my work conveys the synthesis between Eastern and Western art, the figurative and the abstract, and the real and imaginary.

I am a highly educated and experienced artist as well as an accomplished lecturer specializing in painting, graphics, and art history/theory.

1982 - Graduated with First Class Honours, Master of Fine Arts (Painting), State University, Omsk, Russia

1983 - 1997 - Lecturer in Fine Arts, specialising in Painting, Graphics, Art History/Theory - State University, Omsk, Russia

1992 - 1994 - Advanced Master Course, Fine Arts - I. E. Repin State Academic Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, St. Petersburg, Russia

1995 - 1996 - Professional Fine Arts Master Class, V. I. Surikov State Academic Art Institute, Moscow, Russia

I’ve been involved in a number of professional organizations throughout my career such as the Russian Association of Painters & Sculptors and the Russian Academy of the Arts. Today, I am an active member of the Australian Multicultural Arts & Media Association.

I have been featured in prominent art galleries and exhibitions in Russia, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Australia.

I believe that my constant exposure to new ideas and types of art is what has allowed me to develop into the artist I am today.

I am a passionate artist and my ultimate aim is to focus on the quality of my work rather that the quantity of it and impart a small piece of myself as an artist into each and every one of my creations.

My interests

About my work

About work:

My art is a cumulative effect of my life experiences, acquired skills, artistic creativity and world view. I gather inspiration for my work from both my environment and my inner thoughts and emotions. My creations are an outward expression of the things that I find interesting when I mix my inner emotions and thoughts with the physical world we all live in

My style:

My art is my ‘identification of difference’. There is always recognizable mix of figures that are true but with backgrounds that are modern in fantasy world but always so balanced, always different but just fabulous…

My concept :

My aim is to create unforgettable works and impart a deep emotional connection between objects and human beings whenever I begin a new piece. As a result, most of my work conveys the synthesis between Eastern and Western art, the figurative and the abstract, and the real and imaginary.

I work with these materials:

Acrylic, oil, pen, pencil, gouache

What inspires me?:

I've always loved the experience of losing myself in thought and diving into the world of art and imagination. This creative introspection allows me to produce art that is not only beautiful, but one-of-a-kind. I’ve been told again and again that this uncanny ability to illustrate the exceptional beauty of everyday life is what makes my artwork lovable.

My message:

Artwork is, by its very nature, a by-product of our thinking.
We think about each other, we consider ourselves and we think about thinking. It’s with ideas and actions we start to create a map of our expectations. This map allows a certain level of physical and emotional connection with the world around us. It allows us to see and experience things that otherwise would not exist.

It gives us each a position we can hold on to. We can hold onto that position as loosely or tenaciously as we see fit, but it is ours for that time.
