Hi! My name is Elena Mukhametova, or Lenor.
I am a digital artist, creating mixed-reality installations as well as digital clothing and accessories.
My practice focuses on the intersection of the physical and digital worlds. I explore natural mechanisms of perceiving lines, rhythm, textures, harmony of movement, color, and volume, applying these principles to the creation of non-physical objects. The goal of my work is not to oppose these worlds but to unite them, revealing new dimensions and enhancing the beauty of reality.
I am inspired by the idea that the boundaries between the physical and digital are gradually dissolving. This immersion into a unified space opens up new ways of experiencing reality, where virtual objects can affect us as profoundly as physical ones. I see technology as a continuation of nature, rather than something opposed to it.
My aim is to be part of this process, contributing to the creation of a new, beautiful world that becomes a natural extension of our reality, enriched by the possibilities of digital technology.
