Elena Ballock

Elena Ballock, California artist, reveals a masters touch with intriguing landscapes, vibrant cityscapes and energetic seascapes. This emerging artist creates paintings using a skillful range of color, light, shade, texture, and design.

Educated at Cal State Hayward, Elena Ballock enjoyed art classes while completing a degree in another subject. There she learned the importance of color and form. After many years of self- study and experimentation she has developed her own unique sense of style. Her landscapes are alive with brilliant skies, fields, foliage, streams, mountains, and forest views. Elena’s seascapes are painted with shimmering water, cliffs, beaches and long distant perspectives. View how exquisitely she paints the rocks and cliffs along her seascape coast lines. Elena displays her depth of her talent by bringing new meaning to an everyday urban scene. She conveys the beauty and emotions in a row of dwellings, a distant city skyline, or a hilly Bay Area neighborhood through the use of color and broken lines . Through her accomplished use of oils, the interaction between the city-street, sidewalk, shrubbery, buildings, and sky is painted wonderfully in her refreshing modern style.

Elena says, “I believe that art is one of the most basic forms of communication and expression. I think that people connect internally in new ways with our simple yet complex world through my art. This connection can be of the bold yet splendid rawness of the mountains or contrast with the velvet smoothness of flower petals. The emotional impact that I relate through my paintings can be wildly dramatic or calm and placid.” “People have stated that my work is natural and intuitive.”

Elena Ballocks’ striking paintings allow viewers to come away with a new sense of intrigue for the world around us. “My art is as simple as a visual image striking the eye, yet it becomes more when it touches the soul. In that moment my artwork becomes a connection between people. I would like people to view my artwork with a sense of intrigue that sparks an emotional response.”

Elena Ballock has sold many of her paintings to collectors throughout the United States and has been featured in galleries and museums around the country. Our Gallery is extremely privileged and excited to offer the wonderful artwork by this talented master artist, Elena Ballock.
