Portrait de l'artiste Elena Koss-Sorokine

For as long as I remember, since kindergarten I have always been sculpting, drawing, cutting out paper, collecting reproductions of paintings by great masters. In kindergarten my teacher skillfully drew paper dolls in order to dress them up… One day she got sick, and at the age of 6 I began to do that instead of her. I had a whole line of people lined up. Afterwards, I’ve been doing it all my life…
After I graduated from art school, I continued to practice plein air watercolor painting, sketching and portraits. It has always helped me in my profession as a designer.
In 1983, I started working as a modelist and stylist at the Fashion House and in cinema. In 1989, I became a professor at the Fashion School.
Since 1991, I have lived in France, the United States and Germany, and I am a freelance artist, stylist and designer. In France I have my own gallery and I paint in plein air in Germany.
