About
My name is Elena Gontcharova (07/07/1995), and I’m a passionate abstract-intuitive artist and yoga teacher based in Antwerp.
Originally from Russia, I’ve lived in Belgium my entire life. I find myself constantly moving between these two cultures, which has nurtured my curiosity about the world and life itself.

Yoga
Yoga is a way of life for me—a deep source of inspiration and an essential part of who I am. It has profoundly transformed my life, both physically and mentally, offering me a daily compass to live authentically and mindfully.
​
As a yoga teacher, I lead classes twice a week in Kalmthout, where I aim to inspire others to find stillness and connection. I have also trained in mindfulness with Edel Maex, and meditation plays a significant role in my personal practice and teachings. I practice regularly at Antwerp Yoga, where I completed a 100-hour Yin Teacher Training and am currently pursuing a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.
​
You’re warmly invited to join my classes in Espace Kalmthout on Wednesday evenings: 7–8 PM (Hatha/Vinyasa) and 8–9 PM (Yin Yoga) and Sunday mornings: 10–11 AM (Hatha/Vinyasa).

Fine art
​
My art is born from intuition, surrender, and emotion. I work without a fixed plan, guided by the energy of the moment. For me, the creative process is just as meaningful as the final result—a meditation in motion.
​
I draw inspiration from life, nature, and yoga. Before diving into the creative process, I often take a walk in the forest and meditate, allowing myself to open up to whatever wants to flow through me.​
Each piece is unique, crafted with love, and, with the right connection, becomes an emotional enrichment for your space and interior—one that invites you to stop and truly look.

Come and See
​
My paintings are on display and available for purchase at Nobody & Friends in Antwerp Zuid, where I am a resident artist. I also exhibit at other locations regularly.
