Elif Lewis

Elif is a Turkish born acrylic painter and ceramicist based in Hertfordshire UK, exploring nature's influence on human emotions. Water (in particular the sea), trees, idealized landscapes are key elements occurring in her artworks. She is also inspired by movement and change. She enjoys experimenting with different techniques to capture the impact of time and change within her paintings, including both rapid motion in a dance and slower changes in a face over time. She applies the paint using palette knives, rather than brushes in most parts of the paintings and sometimes uses some household objects to paint and create textures.

Studied Urban Planning in Architectural Faculty in Turkey and Master of Law on European Social Security in Belgium.
In addition to art, I have a number of interests, ranging from the local. such as volunteering for local charities, to the international, working to promote better opportunities for female employment.
