Spanish-born Elena is quickly becoming a global star in the art world. Her art depicts inspirational strong women whom Elena has encountered on her journey, using her unique style she creates portraits that are both stunning to observe and empowering in equal measure. Boasting social media following in the hundreds of thousands already, the sky is the limit for classically trained Elena.

Elena Gual is a Spanish artist currently living and working in London. Self-taught up to the point where she decided she wanted to pursue a classical training in Fine Art, as she has always had a huge interest in the human figure.

A perennial idealist from a young age, Elena elected to move from Spain in order to follow her academic dream and pursue courses that were not available in her homeland. She graduated in 2016 from the ‘Florence Academy of Art’ in Tuscany, after completing a three-year degree, concentrating on the deep study of classical drawing and painting.

She has continued her education by studying at the Saint Martins School of Arts, as well as at the Royal Academy in London. Elena knew that this training would only take her so far. The academic method she was taught gave her all of the tools she needed to move forward to her current contemporary approach.
