Creativity of a Spanish artist with Russian roots, a master of computer graphics Elena Dudina, some call collages, but the author herself is inclined to consider what she is doing as photo manipulations, complex puzzles, since all her paintings are assembled from many particles, small pieces from one photo, then from another. That is why photomanipulation, because all the people from Elena's fantastic works are alive, real. Just in the image presented by the artist. Elena has been studying graphic editors on her own for only three years, and, carried away by photo manipulations, devotes almost all her free time to this occupation. During this time, she became a real sorceress who can turn an ordinary person … no, not into a toad, but into a fantastic creature: an elf, a sorcerer, a leprechaun, a fairy, a gothic princess or a knight.
Despite the fact that there are a sufficient number of such illustrations on the network, Elena Dudina has her own handwriting. So, she always leaves the faces of her models recognizable, does not expose them to excessive processing, since she believes that the main character in her work is still a model, and should not be "overshadowed" by the effects and other tricks of Photoshop.
Often Elena Dudina's fantastic puzzle collages are born on the fly, as soon as she sees an interesting face in a photograph, or a fabulous landscape, in which all that is missing is that of a beautiful elven girl with a lyre or violin. But the most, probably, favorite images are gifts to good acquaintances. Do we remember that the artist's magic is capable of turning a person into a fairy tale? And, whatever one may say, one wants to give fairy tales to those who are dear.
