The concept of the „Blue Desert” was developed by Eleonora Bourmistrov and presented in her first “Blue Desert” exhibition in the Luvre Gallery in Bayreuth 1997.  

“BLUE DESERT” 2024 is a continuation and further development of the earlier ideas, in which experimentation with different sands and new techniques takes place. Also the concept of the sculpture-painting has been further explored and developed.

The earlier concept arose from Eleonora Bourmistrov’s fascination with deserts and veiled figures in deserts or in blue spaces that she combined in a new idea of the landscape – Blue Desert – that exists only in the artist’s imagination.

In the Luvre exhibition 1997 were shown alongside with the blue deserts also veiled figures in desert landscapes or in blue spaces.

In the coming-up exhibition “Masked & Veiled”, the concept of the “Veiling” will be presented in a new light.
