About Elena Bond
Elena Bond was born in 1965 in Samara, Russia, and began drawing at a very early age, using everything from a pencil to her mother's make-up. Because of her father's military work, Elena's family moved frequently around the Soviet Union and Germany: she lived in Kazakhstan, Byelorussia, Ukraine, Latvia, Litva, St. Petersburg and Moscow. As a result of her family's mobile lifestyle, Elena was able to experience art and culture from all over the world.
At the age of 11, she attended her first art school in St. Petersburg, Russia, where she studied fine art as well as art theory. Elena's family moved to Middle Asia, which was then part of the Soviet Union, to the beautiful, sunny state of Uzbekistan.
When she was 15, she attended State College of Art in Uzbekistan, where she majored in Scenic Design which she completed with honors. She then went on to study at the Academy of Art, where she earned a Masters Degree in Fine Art. During this time Elena took part in many international, state and local exhibitions. She became a member of the Artist's Union of Uzbekistan. She also created set designs for the State Theatre of Opera and Ballet, and the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.
Returning to Uzbekistan, Bond continued her work in the State Museum of Art as a restorer, teaching at the local University, and participating in exhibitions. In her artistic career she has experimented with many styles and techniques, from simple still-lifes and portraits to difficult philosophical figurative pieces. Whatever she paints, her main goal is to be honest and love what she creates.
Bond currently resides in Miami, Florida, with her husband and two daughters where she paints professionally, and is a scenic designer for the Arts Ballet Theatre of Florida.
