Eleena's art may generally be characterized as expressionistic. It has grown out of her existential dilemma of living in a metropolitan city like Kolkata where she was brought up since her childhood as the only child of a working parents. The chilled silence of the loneliness inside her inner self has reacted with the loud turmoil of the city around her to generate a space of personal void. Against the background of this personal void within her inner self, she has, at a later stage, confronted quintessence of various streams of beauty, beauty of nature, life, philosophy and aesthetics, during the seven years she studied art at Visva Bharati of Santiniketan. Rabindranath was gradually unfolded to her through art, literature, music and nature. At that stage she was also acquainted with the vast treasure of Far-Eastern aesthetics. Especially the Chinese Taoist philosophy made an imprint on her. The void within her gradually got transmuted. The darkness glowed with an omnipotent light flickered out of all these sources. A kind of duality evolved, duality of exuberant colours and benumbed stillness, duality of jubilant light and serene darkness, duality of the 'heart' and the 'head'. After completing her course at Visva-Bharati, she has travelled extensively through out the world, initially for further studies, then for her own shows or for visiting art museums, and felt the throbbing pulse of the outside world. A duality of the concepts of 'local' and 'global' has thus been nurtured. Above all her 'self' as a woman has played a very dominant role in building up her 'forms'. The agony and ecstasy of her 'being' as a woman has made her art what it is. In her paintings all these dualities play their roles, get synthesized and yield towards the expression of her own vision.
