About this artwork
This painting is inspired by the Old Testament (Genesis & Leviticus). This painting is the counterpart of 'The Word', based on the New Testament.
The artist wrote the texts with leaf metal. The changing incidence of light during the day ensures that the texts stand out more or less. This changes the painting during the course of the day. The painting is ready to hang. Because the sides are painted there is no need for a frame.
For as long as she… can remember Elise have thought it was special that we are able to read. When you think about it, it’s a very fascinating fact: 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’s work is inspired by books and contains fragments of texts. Once you can read it is impossible not to read. As a result, what the text evokes in you will interact with the image you see.

« 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.
