Beesants, or Elena, is an artist living in Saint Petersburg, Russia who enjoys quiet activities like drawing, reading, and spending time with her pet rabbit and cat, who are âthe cutest.â She jokes that she doesnât really know how she discovered her style; in fact, it felt like one day she wanted to draw something that was âmagical and cute maybe, or funny, or scaryâ and then â[her style] just happened.â For her, creativity is about âescaping from realityâ and finding a way to lose herself in the magic of art.
She describes her feelings of anxiety and frustration when she has âzero ideasâ for her next project. She teases that she can often find herself procrastinating or âmore precisely doomscrollingâ when this happens and she has yet to find a solution for it. Still, she has learned that the best thing she can do is walk away and try again tomorrow and âsomething else will come up.â She encourages other artists with the mantra âthere will be people who will love your art, no matter how weird it isâ and to just stay true to themselves.
