I've been making art for too long. Too long...


Minin Ilya, also known as Eli, is an artist who explores various genres and forms of expression, including painting, sculpture, installation, and experimental art. His work is characterized by attention to detail and observation of the world around him, capturing emotions and bringing them to life on canvas.

Ilya is constantly seeking new forms and mediums, experimenting with techniques and materials to find the best way to express his creative concepts. His innovative approach and unconventional combinations of materials add depth and texture to his work.

Eli's art aims to communicate with the public, allowing viewers to enter his world and interpret his work freely. Each piece becomes a whirlwind of emotions, inviting observers to find their own meaning and personally engage with the art.

His passion, energy, and uniqueness are evident in his artwork, which transports viewers to other worlds, encourages reflection on personal experiences, and invites contemplation of the mysteries of reality.
