Acrylic Mixed Media

Elina Pasok’s art is a vibrant, emotive exploration of resilience, interconnectedness, and healing. Drawing inspiration from the delicate balance between nature and human health, her work weaves organic forms, cellular structures, and symbolic figures into visually arresting compositions.

Using neon colours, colour-shift pigments, and intricate detailing, Elina creates an immersive world that soothes and energises the viewer. Her signature coral-tree motifs, evocative of both dendrites and branching ecosystems, are central to her work. These forms represent growth, resilience, and the invisible connections between lifeforms, while her playful "Watcher" characters and cheerful cats remind us to find optimism in the face of adversity. Each piece acts as a visual reminder that strength can emerge from fragility and beauty from the everyday.

Elina’s work is deeply personal, yet universal. Born from her fascination with ecological balance and human health, her art aims to inspire comfort, healing, and hope.

Elina’s paintings blur the line between the micro and macro worlds. Her coral-tree motifs serve as a versatile metaphor—representing synapses, ecosystems, and the branching paths of human experiences. These motifs are imbued with optimism, glowing in vivid neon hues that seem to pulsate with life.

Hints of copper foil and luminous pigments create an ethereal quality, suggesting transformation and renewal. At the same time, her choice of bright, bold palettes contrasts with the delicacy of her linework, reinforcing the tension between fragility and resilience—a recurring theme in her art.

Emotional Support Cats

I made this painting to create a source of comfort and encouragement that speaks directly to anyone facing challenges. The cats are obnoxiously positive, with little funny smiles, and when you look at them they root for you with their tiny little voices: "Yes, you can do this! Woooo! Go-go-go! You're on the right path! Just do it!"

The cats in the painting symbolize a steadfast, uplifting force, designed to nudge viewers to stay positive even when times are tough. Their cheerful and encouraging presence is meant to counteract the never-ending negativity in our world. The canvas is a sanctuary of optimism.

Art has the power to elevate the human spirit, offer solace, and inspire hope. "Emotional Support Cats" is a testament to this. It's a painting that you are capable, valued, and on the right path. And you are not alone, there are kind forces around you.

Pulse of Protection

Vibrant neons pulse through the delicate network of cells and branching systems, echoing the intricate systems within us.
Many know first-hand what happens when the immune system fails you. When it loses the battle with invaders or starts attacking the body itself causing autoimmune flares.

This work is vibrant, it's colourful and it's healing. It's charged with my warmest thoughts.
A tribute to the resilience.

The Watchers

The Watchers keep watching.
Finished and out of the way. I use small formats when I'm waiting for the bigger pieces to dry.

These creatures with big round eyes come out every time the newsfeed fills with something awful. They stare at the screens absorbing the terrifying images.
I kept the faces ambiguous on purpose, so we see different emotions in them. Guess which Watcher looks the most angry to me? Who is sad?

Songs of the Magic Frog

Is there hope for the endangered species? I hope we still can reverse the loss of habitat and ecosystems. I hope that the frogs will continue singing their songs and the forests never go quiet.

There are 1255 critically endangered and endangered species of frogs according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species. This artwork is both dark and hopeful.

Corals Glowing Gone

When Pantone announced Living Coral as the 2019 Colour of the Year, it felt ironic given the state of our oceans. Initially, I painted in muted monochrome, depicting dead corals, but the result felt too sombre. I gave it a vibrant makeover - neon yellow, iridescent blue and purple, textured layers, and copper foil details. It turned out joyful, yet the unusual water colour sparked questions. Not blue - why? Because over the past 30 years, we’ve lost 50% of the world’s coral reefs.

Pantone, Adobe Stock, and TheOceanAgency launched #GlowingGone, highlighting coral fluorescence - reefs' last defence before bleaching. Ironically, I had unknowingly used these same fluorescence colours in my painting. It wasn’t just artistic choice, it was a subconscious expression of urgency.
