Reynard

Poised and alert, Reynard captures a red fox frozen between hesitation and instinct. Painted during the earliest days of Elena’s return to art, his watchful gaze reflects the artist’s own moment of uncertainty—standing before the canvas after 24 years. With vivid fur and sharp eyes, this portrait holds the tension of fear and curiosity, embodying the first step toward rediscovery. Reynard is a portrait of the brave beginning.
