Elena Degenhardt (독일에서 활동하며 국제파스텔협회 마스터써클 회원)
•Elena Degenhardt is an award-winning German artist, known for her senses-engulfing waterscapes, underwater
figurative works and frescoes-reminiscent portraits in pastel. She pushes traditional boundaries of this medium by
applying wet techniques throughout painting process, using unusual painting surfaces, incorporating other materials
into her work, destroying and rebuilding it in the process. Origins of her work lie in observation and self reflection.
Her multicultural and multilingual background and frequent relocations influenced her choice of themes: lost identities,
displacement, bonds, human fears, memory and time. Full-time artist since 2017, she is a Signature Member in the
Pastel Society of America, Master Circle Pastelist with the International Association of Pastel Societies and Associate
Member in the Society of Graphic Fine Art, UK. Galleries and museums that have shown her work include Mall
Galleries, UK, Abend Gallery, Zhou B Art Center and Wausau Museum for Contemporary Art, USA.
