At Chinwe Russell Auctions, we are always drawn to artists who embrace creativity without boundaries—those who move effortlessly between moods, genres, and emotional atmospheres.
Olena’s artistic voice is unmistakable: expressive, imaginative, and deeply intuitive. And yet, what makes her truly remarkable is her fearless versatility. Instead of staying within one visual language, she dances across multiple themes—winter serenity, spiritual symbolism, abstract energy, emotional storytelling—while maintaining a sense of cohesion that is uniquely her own.
This year’s Christmas auction features a stunning cross-section of her creative world, revealing just how wide her artistic wingspan truly is.
“Christmas Is Coming” – A Winter Scene Filled With Light
One of the most enchanting works in the auction, Christmas Is Coming, captures the gentle stillness of winter. In this peaceful snow-covered village, warm light pours from cottage windows and a distant church spire glows against the soft blue evening sky. It is atmospheric, nostalgic, and full of quiet magic—the kind of painting that reminds us of the wonder of the festive season.
The “Dance of Energies” Series – Abstract Expression at Its Boldest
Olena’s abstract pieces are a thrilling contrast to her figurative scenes.Her Dance of Energies series (Lots 0343, 0344, 0346) pulses with colour and movement—fluid shapes, botanical suggestions, rhythmic brushstrokes, and vibrant chromatic contrasts. These works bubble with joy, spontaneity, and emotional richness, perfectly embodying her instinctive approach to abstract art.
From swirling oranges to luminous greens and electric blues, each canvas feels alive. These works appeal strongly to collectors who love contemporary, expressive colour stories.
“In the Rhythms of Jazz” – Where Music and Art Intersect
Another standout from her abstract collection, In the Rhythms of Jazz blends softness and dynamism, much like a jazz improvisation. The layered textures, translucent washes, and gentle yet confident colour choices create a composition that feels both calming and rhythmically alive. It shows Olena’s ability to infuse emotion into abstraction without sacrificing harmony.
“Christmas Angel” – A Touch of the Divine
A completely different expression appears in her Christmas Angel, a mystical pastel work shimmering with spiritual presence. Here, Olena shifts into a dreamlike palette—soft blues, warm golds, and ethereal forms that suggest guidance, hope, and light. This piece shows her ability to move gracefully from grounded realism to celestial imagination.
“Three States” – A Narrative of Femininity and Emotional Evolution
In Three States, Olena turns toward figurative storytelling. Three women stand together—each representing a different emotional or psychological state. With expressive postures and elegant colour themes, the work presents unity, transformation, and the quiet strength of womanhood. It is a deeply touching narrative piece with universal resonance.
An Artist of Many Worlds
What makes Olena Chelnokova so captivating is her refusal to limit herself. She paints snow-covered landscapes and fiery abstracts with equal mastery. She moves from spiritual to emotional, from narrative to surreal—yet every piece carries her unmistakable signature of colour, sincerity, and expressive energy.
Her collection in this Christmas auction is not just a display of work.It is a display of range, depth, and an artist who paints from instinct, emotion, and imagination.
