She doesn't need a brush. With just her fingertips, she feels the colors and brings her impressions of Tianzhu Mountain to life on canvas. Russian artist Elena Olegovna Mashchenko has returned to Anhui time and again. To her, Tianzhu Mountain is more than a beautiful landscape. It is a source of inspiration, a place where people connect with nature, and a symbol of friendship and understanding that transcends borders. Inspired by the mountains and landscapes around her, she transforms what she sees and feels into colors on canvas. For Elena, art is not simply about capturing beauty. It is also a way to bring cultures closer together and tell a story of friendship between China and Russia.
