About Ellen

For me art is a form of communication. As a  creator I want to convey something, trigger a reaction.  

I find it important that the viewer gets the space for his/her own interpretation, own experience.

For me shaping means giving expression to daily reality. Language and feelings are by big sources of inpiration.  They call up a strong image ( of emotion, of happiness, of humor,  playing with words....). I work these images out in sketch.

At the final realization I search for those shapes, those materials that do the most justice to my original design.

I have created sculptures  with several types of stone, synthetic resins, modeling wax.  Due to my health working withe these materials is, unfortunately, no longer possible and I started to focus on painting.

Currently my work exists of paintings whom are combined with my sculpting experience. Building mass, patinating.

New are my abstract paintings where I make use of het chemical characteristics of acrylic paint. Some of them you can find on the

page Work.

Typical for my work is that I combine strength with fragility, open up figures, play with lines.

I have realized several assignments as well as some memorial objects.

In the subpage you can find my CV.
