By Your Side Painting

Elle is a self-taught Zimbabwean abstract artist who paints with a vibrant visual intensity of color using acrylic and resin - inspired by the Universe, love, and loss. Elle’s motivation for intrigue and experimentation often result in a narrative of a spiritual, artistic journey and personal expression. Elle has a unique vision for bringing color assortments together with dynamic textural sense in an aesthetic that would perhaps not be brought together otherwise. Elle feels her purpose is to paint artworks that people feel a strong emotional connection to. Her art tells a story of a personal journey, whether death, a broken heart or travel experiences, Elle's paintings help people to heal, feel calm, happiness, peace, positive energy, and optimism - an emotional link to the human and artistic experience. "Resin is an exciting, unpredictable medium that produces a high gloss finish like a mirror and great vibrancy and depth of colors. The resin in some artworks is almost three-dimensional. It allows the artist a certain length of time to manipulate it to create cells and overlaps and mixing of colors until it begins to set, rendering it unusable any further. I love it."
