VIEW COLLECTION

"I miss my birthplace and I hope it misses me in return."

Born in Saint Petersburg, Yelena Samoukova's artistic journey spans two continents and cultures. Her work reflects the delicate balance between memory and reality, between the cobblestone streets of her Russian homeland and the vibrant energy of her adopted Montreal.

Through pen and ink, she captures the essence of motherhood, the wisdom found in everyday moments, and the universal search for home. Her art speaks to the immigrant experience while celebrating the beauty found in transition.
