Inspiration for art

Have you ever considered how special it is that we can read? Text is nothing but a series of characters in a row, to which we have assigned meanings. We can experience a whole range of feelings and emotions just by looking at those signs.

Eekhout combines this fascination of letters and texts with the images she creates in her art. Her work is inspired by books and contains fragments of texts. As a result, what the text evokes in you will interact with the image you see. Elise likes works of art that have a story to tell that is not completely ‘finished’. 

Professional artist

Elise Eekhout is an artist known for the use of leaf metal texts in het art. Before entering the professional artworld, Eekhout has been a successful graphic designer for over 20 years. She started her own graphic design company whilst studying at St. Joost Art School (Breda, The Netherlands). At the start of the corona lockdown in the spring of 2020, Eekhout decided to make her dream come true and become a professional artist. 

International artist

During the corona time, everything went digital, including the presentation of art. A art curator from India saw her art on Instagram and was captivated by one of her paintings. As a result, Elise made a stunning breakthrough only a year after the start of her art career. She had various exhibitions in India. Soon after, she caught the attention of Singulart, a leading online gallery based in Paris.

Inspiratie voor kunst

Heb je er wel eens bij stilgestaan hoe bijzonder het is dat we kunnen lezen? Tekst is niets anders dan een reeks tekens op een rij, waar we betekenissen aan hebben toegekend. We kunnen een hele reeks gevoelens en emoties ervaren, gewoon door naar die tekens te kijken.
