This original work, “My home is where the heart is,” was created by contemporary Russian artist Elena Shipilova and is available for purchase online.
Elena Shipilova’s painting “My home is where the heart is” is a vivid, stylized portrait that explores themes of attachment, self-identity, and comfort through the lens of Cubism and expressive color. The artist creates a powerful image of a woman who has found her place in the world through a deep connection with a loved one.
At the center of the composition is a woman whose face and figure are deconstructed into flat, geometric planes. This stylization does not diminish the emotional impact of the image; on the contrary, it intensifies it. The face is divided into zones of different, sometimes unexpected colors: purple, pink, orange, highlighting the complexity and multifaceted nature of her inner world. Large dark areas of clothing and black hair with a raven on her head create a strong graphic accent.
A special place in the composition is occupied by a black cat, which the woman gently holds. The cat, with its amber eyes, serves as the second focal point of the painting. It is not just a pet but a symbol of loyalty, warmth, and that very “heart” that defines the location of home. Their joint depiction perfectly illustrates the painting’s title: their bond is a source of peace and belonging.
The background of the painting is also rendered in a geometric style using contrasting blocks of blue, black, and bright colors. This abstract space emphasizes that “home” in this case is not a physical place but an emotional state created by closeness.
Elena Shipilova masterfully works with color, using it not for realistic depiction but to convey emotions. “My home is where the heart is” is a powerful statement about the value of soulful connection over material attachment. The portrait radiates confidence, deep affection, and the affirmation of a personal space of happiness created by the heroine herself.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
