Elena Barber is an artist based in Suffolk whose work explores the concept of equilibrium. Through a distinctive visual language of marks, she draws on personal experience to create an evolving archive of drawings, collages, and films. These pieces later serve as the foundation for her paintings. Elena’s practice involves processes of appropriation, translation, and transformation, as she reworks fragments of lived reality into new forms. Her exploration of time and memory imbues her work with a sense of the familiar that often feels subtly uncanny. A keen awareness of balance, shaped by her sensitivity to the body and its spatial presence, underpins her artistic approach.
