In addition, she took a respectable position on the jury panel of international photography competitions, including at the latest years' reputable competitions, at the Florida Museum Of Photographic Arts IPC 2022, the New York Photography Awards 2022, and the European Photography Awards 2022. Cyprus- based photographer Paraskeva has exhibited her work in countless solo and group exhibitions around the globe.
In her past life as a Marketing Executive for Nestle Waters USA, she worked on the client side with Ogilvy&Mather to produce advertising campaigns for her premium brands and was featured in the New York Times for her work.
Elena's artistic style is based on a unique surrealistic conceptual work bathed in rich color palettes and strong graphic lines. Her stylized world is full of fashion images and conceptual portraits permeated with a high-aesthetic beauty and elegance. Always playing along the lines of the unordinary and almost bizarre, her work is impactful, lucid, and memorable.
Among the many exhibitions nationally and internationally, her work has been featured at the Fotonostrum Gallery, Barcelona, Spain, in 2022; at the Aperture Foundation, NYC, in April 2019; at the Menier Gallery, London, UK, in 2018; and at the Photo Oxford 2017, Oxford in the U.K.
Paraskeva's work has been featured on the cover of countless international publications, including the U.K. Times, Photography Masterclass, Fotorgrafare (Italy), Chromatica Magazine, Digital Camera, Digital Photographer, N-Photo, PDN, Digitalis Foto Magazin, among others.
