At the Swimming-Pool
Watching the desperate swimming instructors revealing the secrets of their aquatic skills is one of the things you do to fight off the boredom of swimmimng-pools.

In Italy
Italy means a warm welcome ...
-Prego!
Great meals ...
The chef and the serving wench at the cheapest trattoria in Santa Margherita
Cold drinks on shady terraces ...
-Chin!
Plenty of idle, middle-aged Italian males eager to go into deep philosophical discussions

La Bella Italia!
The word "holidays" automatically brings to my mind the images of the sun, the sea the beach, and the people who share those beaches with you, as well as the dubious pleasure of getting burnt to a crisp!
Veni,Vidi, Vici!
The Queen of the Beach
-We are having fun, aren't we?
To lunch - or not to lunch ...
Look at me - I am beautiful!
Some people go to the sea for a swim, some for a smoke
An old man and the sea, ... and never mind the brat!

Leaz
I live in a small mountain picturesque village lost in the depths of provincial France. It provides a perfect material for landscapes in all mediums and its distinct features surface and easily tracked in some of my paintings. (Gallery 1 and 2)
However, I really think it is the people who live in the village that best describe its image.
-"Wellcome,stranger!"
Walking the mistress, barking at the moon: - a dog's life!

About Me
- Yelena Lewis
- Having been born and bred in the Russia of the pre-Perestroika era left me with the great gift of emotional dependence upon family and friends, as well as the advantages of a cheerful disrespect for any sort of propoganda or any kind of authority. I've recieved my education in Brezhnev's Russia and Blair's Britain and have lived in Moscow in the USSR, Newcastle on Tyne and London in Britain, Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Geneva in Switzerland before settling down in France. I feel I have a few stories to tell combined with a strong desire for an audience: the resulting hot-pot can be found in my paintings, some of which are found on this website. It gives me great pleasure to work in different styles, as it signifies fun and freedom, the qualities greatly appriciated by anybody who, like me, has had an experience of a totalitarian upbringing. Similarly, I use any medium available to paint with: oil, watercolours, gouache, charcoal, pure pigments, pencil, ink, pastel, acril - anything! - and on any support: paper, wood panels, cardboard, canvass, etc.
