About the Item

Elena Burykina's "Bionic Solder" (2023) is an original, handmade oil painting on panel. Artist Statement: Helmet of the Italo-Chalcidian Type Etruscan, probably Vulci Late 5th-4th century BCE The helmet is a part of a matching ensemble of helmet, cuirass, and greave (shin guard), which is rare Etruscan works exemplifying the finest qualities of the form and decoration that characterize the greatest armors made in Etruria during the Classical period. This ensemble occupies an important place in historical development of Etruscan armor. It includes one of the finest Etruscan cuirasses known to survive and a helmet that has no parallels in the Ancient World. The helmet, with its delicate embossed, chased, and engraved ornament, and its striking bronze and silver appliques, is one of the most luxurious examples of a type found only in Etruria, and far the best-preserved representative of this exclusive group. It is most important, however, for its unparalleled construction with hinged cheekpieces that would have completely enclosed the wearers face, and for the subtle modeling of the corresponding plates to follow the contours of the nose, cheekbones, and jaw. No other helmet with comparable features is known to exist. Historical references per the Metropolitan Museum of Art. About the Artist: Elena is an artist based in Chattanooga, TN USA. Elena always wanted to be an artist. As a child in Ukraine, she received a classical art education which she used for over a decade as an architect. It was an applied form of her desire to create art. Elena moved away from architecture into teaching art to children and painting when she could, and finally she was able to focus all her time being an artist and learning. She moved to America in 2013 and turned her full attention to painting. She tries to use every opportunity to learn anything new – new tools, mediums, techniques – anything new at all. Elena’s favorite subjects to paint are people with their personalities, moods, thoughts, and favorite things. “I really like to explore the personalities of my models through building the structure of portraiture with oil paint and paintbrush.” Her current focus is portraiture. She seeks a connection with the model that she can translate to the surface. Elena is a member of The Portrait Society of America. She received an award of Signature Status with the Portrait Society of America in 2022.
