Meet Elena Alekhina an artist from Moscow. Porcelain dolls are her passion.
“I think the doll brings together painting, sculpture, jewelry, costume, simulation, skill, everything that I love and I try to reflect the vision of beauty, my perception of the world in my creation,” she says.
As a designer form St. Peterburg she creates realistic toys from papier-mâché and printed fabrics. She photographs small dogs and cats against the backdrop of Peter and Paul Fortress, Kazan Cathedral and Fontanka River and Griboyedov canal.
Alekhina has always been fond of painting and she has even taught children art. Later on, she decided to create dolls. She started from portraits of Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo then moved to animal toys. For about a year now, she has been creating small cats and dogs wearing Russian costumes.
