Elizaveta Porodina's Glorious Images for New York City Ballet Winter 2025 Season Art of Living

Capturing the world of ballet began early-on in the artist’s new career as a professional photographer. In 2020 Carolina Herrera’s creative director Wes Gordon invited Elizaveta Porodina to join a collaboration, in which the duo worked with ballerinas worldwide in an artistic visualization of the Fall/Winter 2020 collection. The results of their visual experiment were published in Vanity Fair’s November 2020 issue and shared on AOC.

Fast-forward four years and the artist has received a warm welcome in New York City, where she joined past collaborators with the New York City Ballet including Andy Warhol, Helen Frankenthaler, Isamu Noguchi, Julian Schnabel, Keith Haring and Roy Lichenstein.

Elizaveta Porodina at New York City Ballet

Each year, New York City Ballet collaborates with an artist to create a body of work that celebrates the Company's and the dancers' artistry in a new or unique light. This season, artist Elizaveta Porodina worked with Associate Artistic Director Wendy Whelan, Repertory Director Craig Hall, House of Iconica, several Company members, and a team of indispensable artists and technicians to create a moody yet effervescent portrait and film of NYCB dancers.

The very busy artist has been in residence at three special New York City Ballet Art Series performances on January 24, 31, and February 8. Her art will be on display until March 2. at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, New York.
