Biography
Elena Mikhailovna Kostenko was born on 9 August 1926 in Leningrad. Her father, Mikhail Kostenko, was an Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, one of the major organizers of Soviet science.

In 1938, Elena Kostenko entered at the Leningrad Secondary Art School under the All-Russian Academy of Arts, which is trained with a break until 1946. Her teachers were Leonid Ovsyannikov, Alexander Zaytsev, Leonid Sholokhov, Alexander Debler, Vladimir Gorb.

Creative atmosphere that prevailed in those years in Leningrad Secondary Art School, meet the aspirations of its pupils. Teachers inculcate a taste and love for true art, and to get creative impulses of the actual life. This reflected a realistic direction of the Leningrad School of painting.

In 1946, after graduating from Secondary Art School Elena Kostenko enters the first year of painting faculty of the Leningrad Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after Ilya Repin. She studied of Semion Abugov, Yuri Neprintsev, Mikhail Platunov, Andrei Mylnikov.

Her graduation work was genre painting "Future Builders. Kindergarten". Close creative communication and friendship with them will remain at Elena Kostenko for many years.

Since 1952, Elena Kostenko begins to participate in art exhibitions of Leningrad artists. Her first exhibition was the demonstration of graduates of Repin Institute of 1952. In the spring of the next year, she participates in citywide "Spring exhibition of works by Leningrad artists of 1953" with its first independent creative work -"A Portrait of sculptor A. Kryzhanovskaya" (1953). A work has been featured, it was placed in the reproduction of exhibition catalogue.

Since then, the portrait becomes a leading genre for Elena Kostenko. In different years, it carried away working on still lifes, landscapes, genre scenes. But the greatest fame and recognition will receive her portraits of contemporaries – men of science and art, as well as children's images. Among the portraits created by Elena Kostenko in 1950–1970, can be called "Portrait of actress Galina Korotkevich" (1956), "Portrait of A. Shennikov, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR" (1960), "Portrait of P. Baranov, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR" (1961), "Portrait of M.

As models for her portraits Elena Kostenko often elect their relatives, especially her sons Vladimir and Michael. This allows to convey in the work of a special "thrill of life", to achieve full contact between artist and model, as well as of a certain view of man, which in the opinion of Elena Kostenko is the most important in the art of portrait. Among them are works "Offended" (1963), "Winter Morning" (1964), "Portrait of son" (1969), "Students" (1977), fairly attributable to the undoubted success of the author.
