Host Hello everyone. Welcome to our live show. Today we’re with a very close friend of mine, Elena
Martin, who lives and works as an artist in Switzerland. Hi, Elena! It’s great to see you here. How is
everything going in Switzerland?
Elena Hello! Thank you for having me. I’m very happy to see you as well. Everything is fine as much as
possible. I’m at home most of the time like the rest of the world and I’m working on my new
projects.
Host Elena, you are an artist. Can you tell us what kind of works you do?
Elena Sure. I’m an abstract artist, which means the forms and figures in my paintings are not clear. I
generally use ink on paper where I can play with my imagination. I also make oil paintings on big
canvases.
Host How did the pandemic and the quarantine affect your practice?
Elena For me personally, it has been a fantastic time. As an artist I need quite a time to work on new
projects or paint a series of new paintings. During quarantine, I’ve had plenty of time for self-
reflection which allowed me to do paintings that express my emotions better.
Host It’s wonderful that you’ve spent this time in such a creative way. Can you show us a painting you did
during quarantine?
Elena Alright! This one is called Summer Sunset. I’ve painted this two weeks ago. It’s ink on paper. There
are many more of them on my social media accounts.
Host We’ll definitely check them! Lastly, can you tell us about your upcoming projects?
Elena I’m going to make an online exhibition with the pieces I’ve painted during lockdown. It’ll be available
on my personal website from the 20 of August to 20 of September 2020. I’m very excited about
th
th
this exhibition.
Host Elena Martin, we are also very excited about hearing this! We wish you good luck for your exhibition
and thank you so much for being here with us today.
