Katrina Elena is an abstract artist currently working and
residing in Oakville, Ontario. Working predominantly
in acrylics and mixed media she draws her inspiration
from the natural world focusing merely on form, move-
ment and texture.
Elena's fluid paintings are meditative in practice and are
largely based around her love for colour and the powerful
ability it has to generate emotions and connections.
Inspired by advocacy, empowerment and acceptance, this piece explores the
dimensionality of mental illness and the role we as a society play in forwarding and
creating awareness. Reflecting on the important notion that a person suffering from
Alzheimer's disease may face many misconceptions and stereotypes, the intention
of this piece is to capture the unique essence of an individual despite these assump-
tions and reinforce that they are more than just a series of labels or medical terms.
