We can notice the similarity of the works of Elena Aseeva with the paintings of Marc Chagall, especially in a free and dreamy, full of illusions, language that they both use ... ". (Daniele Radini Tedeschi, professor, art critic, curator, for the catalog of the exhibition Il Piacere (Consorti Gallery, Rome, Italy).
