Elena Bardina, painter and astrologer, paints her own world.It is a world outside the boundaries of time, one comprised of archetypes and strange probabilities, in which there are no mistakes, only altered and alternate perspectives. On Elena Bardina's canvas there is no certainty. The Princess may become the Frog, tragedy becomes a comedy, and the straightest path brings the viewer full circle to the point of origin. Love, aesthete, Venus are the only constants.
   The feminine archetype takes center stage, open and unprotected in its proximately to other feminine energies, but transforming to Efemme fatale'when male archetypes are present. Often, her paintings are subtly imbued with the powerful persona of Fortune (Destiny).
   Ms.Bardina's paintings depict transformation. Yet she paints without preconception. Her brush touches the canvas sensing for a transformation as yet unrevealed, and as her brush moves so do events unfold, not as the pretense of a best laid plan, but from her deepest eternal heart and soul.
