Last year, I attended the Purple Turtle Art Festival where, a lush meadow provides the perfect backdrop for the display of original paintings, sculptures, photography, pottery, jewellery, woodcraft, native art, and other beautiful creations. More than 30 artisans from Toronto to Tory Hill, Ontario, as well as local artists, have been selected to present their artwork at the festival.
As I wandered between booths, my eyes continued to be drawn to the colourful pieces displayed by artist Eleanora Siamenava. As I drew closer, I was able to make out the complex details in each of the paintings. I was fascinated by the characters and the subtle way, in which Eleanora includes birds and animals in her pieces. At first glance you may not even notice them. One becomes mesmerized, standing in front of one of these beautiful works of art; easily disappearing into this other world of theatrics.
Ladies and Gentleman, it is my pleasure to introduce Eleanora Siamenava – A Cinema and Theatre Professional Artist working in the sphere of Painting, Applied Arts and Design of Modern Costume.
