At the Fine Art Gallery, Elena Kovylina presented projects from her grandiose plan "Picturesque Images of Performance Art." Elena Kovylina is the central character, the narcissistic object of all her works. She is a synthetic artist, as she creates her work as an artist, performs performance art as a director and actor, installs video materials, and then, in accordance with the documentation, paints paintings where all the heroines are herself. In fact, all her works in all their parts and genres are self—portraits.
