TESTIMONIALS:
“What I love about Elena’s artwork is that they are vibrant and expressive, and colorful! It invites the art appreciator to feel connected to the paintings, whether it is jockey on a horse, a Bowie inspired teddy bear or the delicious strawberry donut!
For example, I feel connected to me the Blue Series representing the historical culture of Greece. As an owner of the brilliant Peristeri and The Blue Series Collage, those artworks allow me to visualize I was there, and want to be there one day. Thank you!”

“I want a piece by Elena because of her Hellenic spirit and the body she puts in her work through her fingers as a woman artist. Elena expresses the status of woman in the world. She is Greek, female, talented and not afraid to touch your heart.”
— Dimitris Tsokos
“I love Elena's creativity and realism. Her work evokes a feeling in me of being part of the painting. I want to walk up to the "headless woman painting" and ask if I could join her for a glass of wine. When I stare at the "Blue Series Collage", I'm beginning my annual journey back to Greece, and my absence from the motherland is made so much easier because of this piece.”
— Chris Stefanidis
“Elena's work is a breath of fresh air, a beacon of light and erotic when need be. The colors and textures remind me of my culture but also cross borders on every level.”
— Nick Christophers
“Your art overall is colorful and vibrant which makes me personally feel happy and upbeat! For example the pop-art donut and ice cream are my favorite! They’re just fun to look at!! There’s nothing but positivity that comes out of your art! Good vibes !!!”
— Ghizlane Damdami
“I love how her art gives me that happy feeling. Her personality really shines in her work with all those beautiful colors she puts on canvas. Her signature LOVE Just exudes positive vibes. Even her “darker” paintings have something that make them relatable to feeling positive like her skull paintings. Her recent Blue Series brings me back to the streets of Greece, which makes me wish I was there right now.”

EROCKSNY is a talented artist. I purchased one of her paintings entitled “Occupy Wall Street”. Like any good artist, she was inspired by social ideas.

Elena is my fav also I have some pieces myself but also grew up with her and she’s been doing this since she’s was little. She is so passionate about art, I love her Greek series and how she portrays her Greek background. She also brings out her New York City life into her work 100%. I wish her all the luck.

EROCKSNY is incredible, creative and a visionary artist who I’ve had the pleasure to know and network with for many years. With her central theme “LOVE”, she is a powerful and positive influencer. Her Greek creations takes you on a beautiful journey of her heritage.
— James Solomon
“Her work is honest. She’s passionate in what she creates and it shows. The use of colors and the style of her work is what makes me want to buy. There is no bs or her trying to be someone she’s not - 100% authentic. The blue painting with the one red person in the middle titled “somebody” comes to mind, which was also made with her fingers is one of my faves.”
— Demitra
“First of all as a human you are top notch. Your art is simply amazing. Your passion, your life, your world, in my opinion, seems to come out in what you paint. LOVE THAT!”
— Christina Katsoulakis
“Elena Kariyannis AKA erocksny, is an artist who hails from NY although that is debatable when one has the chance to view her masterpieces in person you can't help ponder if her soul has a direct line to the Gods.
I was lucky to be at the right place at the right time to check out her work at an upper west side NYC rooftop
The work is so vibrant you cant help but loose yourself in her paintings, like being in a dream. I also had the pleasure to talk to the artist and I couldn't help but realize how her personality was very complimenting to her work, Full of color and raw Energy.
I strongly urge you, if you really are a fan of true art and of originality, with passion of life to take a leap of faith and float on over to one of the Goddess' next art exhibits. I guarantee you will find yourself drawn in instantly!
Rock on - EROCKS”
