Recent reviews of Private Artist Studio Visit
5/5 from Sergey Milosh, attended Jun 2025: A Truly Inspiring Studio Visit! My wife and I visited this private artist’s studio during our trip to New York, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our entire stay. We were impressed by the diversity of Elena Chestnykh's art — from large oil paintings to delicate watercolors. My wife especially loved a small oil painting of a New York cityscape, which we will bring home as a special souvenir. We’re very grateful for this experience. A wonderful, authentic art experience — much more personal than any gallery. Highly recommended!
5/5 from John Cilia, attended Jun 2025: As an architect, I’m always looking for inspiration beyond blueprints and buildings. Visiting Elena Chestnykh’s studio was exactly the kind of creative reset I needed.Her artwork has stayed with me: bold, emotional, and deeply human. Seeing her large-scale pieces up close gave me a fresh perspective on composition and intuition in creative work. Elena was generous with her time and insights. I left feeling recharged, with new ideas and a stronger connection to the kind of art that’s made from the heart, not just for clients. Highly recommended for anyone in a creative field.
