Jelena Kalmane is a Contemporary and Embroidery Artist, who is based in Peterborough. Her distinctive personal style emanates joy and peace and expresses the vibrant spirit and atmosphere which is inspired by nature.

Landscapes, waterfalls and flowers, forests and parks, and farmers tending to their fields are all brought to life with contrasting and harmonious colours and bold compositions.

As the artist explains, “Art-is a path to my soul. My landscape paintings are connected to the places where I have been happy or sad. It is part of me, part of my life and my history”.The artist not only paints with acrylic paint but also, uses embroidery and mixed media in her work. She applies the strengths of her medium to achieve rich velvety surfaces. Her mixed media technique makes her artwork look volume and textured.

Her practiced technique conveys a sense of immediacy and harmony that we feel with our natural environment.With utmost proficiency, she invites us to view the world the way how she sees it, with bold bright flowers and powerful waterfalls where you will find a piece and harmony.
