Ludovico on the Turbón was a work conceived on a sheet of paper for breakfast while sketching the landscape that flows from the window of my friend the composer while listening to his music. It is an Embrace of Light and Strength from the Kindness Truth and Beauty Series . The piece , chosen for a German publication: Moonlight Sonatas - Mondscheinsonaten - for Beethoven. I feel very close to and identify myself with Ludovico. His 250th anniversary has inspired me this work intoned in blues with my artistic work and his music. I have illuminated it on the full moon of Easter 2021.
Elena Gastón Nicolás
Guardian of the planet. Multidimensional Artist and Soul’s Ambassador. I was born in an Artistic environment and I have. Art is my means of expression. My 80’s Eleneusinos sketches culminated with Astrakt Art Orderation in 2004.I articulate my work around The Three Ways of Spiritual Knowledge: The Alchemical Way, The Priestly Path and the Way of the Warrior. I am interested in exploring our mental and perceptual potential, also delving into spirituality. I shape mental maps and multi-boggling cosmogonies. Above all, landscape and its inhabitants.
My Ashrams (Artists Books) are the support on which I organize myself.
In the Series Goodness, Truth and Beauty (Healing the Roots)
I try to depict elementals beings: fairies gnomes, sylphs, undines and salamanders
I follow a luminous spiritual life. I am very concerned about the future of the planet.
I have learned that in Nature is all there is to know.
True love, solid foundations, wide horizons. Extensive perspective, social conscience, and a holistic sense of reality characterize me.
I create wholeheartedly;
”The Divine Ember Pulsating of the mystics and the poets, the fools of God and the blacksmiths, is in Elena and in everything that she does. It’s about time for her to spread through the visible world so in need of astonishment and wonder, the vertigo and the boil of her word and her tabloid!”
Carlos & Enedina
“Her images distill a very deep inner universe, in full boiling, that overflows like a volcano when she gives free rein to the trans-world, like Goya. Her conviction, chromatic sense, feeling and continuity of her spelling, both in the stain and in the graphic gesture (stroke), have sufficient value. What least matters is the cataloging of style”
Dr. Arturo Ansón Navarro
”Let a humble herb out of Elena Gaston’s hand, serves as a principle in your being to feel your whole being in its totality as it should be”.
Dr. H.G. von Österreich
I graduated in Fine Arts working and painting. This has given me experience and a spirit of survival
Nurture and bringing up my son as single mother, has taught me humility and will to overcome.
I grow up in the face of difficulties. Painting gives me refuge and true communion with the universe.
I had to change cities often. This has given me adaptability and flexibility. Also ability to improvise techniques and supports. The Watercolor Series have helped me not to stop painting.
Some of my paintings are in private collections of Spanish and Swedish, Intellectual people.
Barcelona 80’s Artistic Shake opened my artistic restlessness.
I worked at theater and performance groups.
Working as a teacher has allowed me to experiment creatively with my students and to devote myself to art. I love to perform and to carry out collective projects.
I like Reform-experimentation teaching activities
Now I work as an Art teacher at in Maryland, I like to involve my students in environmental awareness.
Fratricidal dramas all over the world; violent and progressive Denaturation, Deforestation and Planetary Deshumanisation...are affecting us all.
