Sometimes I just want to care less. Release my grip. Let what flows, flow. Let what crashes, crash. Maybe I’d find a new gasp at the bottom of the ocean and swim back up… or maybe I’d let everything sink. There is beauty in both.

About the Artist
Elena Raileanu. Boston. Artist.

Art was always part of my life. I paint, work in bas-relief, and dance competitive ballroom.

In 2024 I discovered the bas-relief mastery of sculptor Elie Ellis. See my art pieces here.

Thanks to Elie, I built a world in white — sculptural works that express love, beauty, and raw emotion.

White is my favorite color.

White is Peace. It calms me down.

White is a Diva. It’s high maintenance.

White is Forgiveness. It erases everything to a clean start.

White is Transparency. It shows every mark.

White is Alive. It transforms with every shadow.


And that’s exactly why I love it.

It is everything, all at once, perfectly still.


That takes courage. For the art. And for the artist.
