About this artwork

The artist was inspired by the book "Het Ontsnapte Land" by Geert Mak. The descriptions of the Dutch landscape inspired Eekhout to make this amazing abstract landscape. Many shades of green and blue make this painting very interesting.

“Nearly a century and a half later, dry feet would be as normal for the people in the Netherlands as the water from the tap. We hardly realize that much of this land should lie a few feet below a sloshing surface… of water by nature, and that life as we know it would end quickly if not for tens of thousands of people and many generations that had kept the sea outside in endless toil. […]" (From Het Ontsnapte Land by Geert Mak)

The painting is ready to hang. Because the sides are painted there is no need for a frame.

« When you read, you travel to all kinds of places. I try to capture them on canvas. »

Elise Eekhout is a visual artist working at the intersection of painting and graphic design. Her practice explores the language of light, texture, and text. Letters fascinate her not only as carriers of meaning but also as abstract forms — beautiful shapes that dissolve the moment we begin to read them.
By combining traditional techniques with contemporary materials such as gold and silver leaf, she creates layered works that shift with light and perspective. Depending on where the viewer stands, words emerge or vanish, landscapes solidify or dissolve. Her paintings therefore never remain static: they are living surfaces, changing with time, movement, and light.
Recurring themes in her work are memory, transformation, and our relationship with nature. From abstract landscapes to text-based compositions, she seeks to evoke both wonder and reflection. Her art connects the fragility of human stories with the enduring rhythms of the earth, offering viewers a space for contemplation.
