About this artwork
This work is an exploration of what remains when a landscape is gradually stripped of recognizable details. I worked using layers of paint, in which earlier traces and colors remained partially visible beneath the surface.
The landscape is not intended to describe a specific place. Instead, the painting grew out of impressions of the Dutch landscape and from the fleeting thoughts and sensations that can accompany being outdoors.
The absence of… visible text is deliberate. What could once have been expressed in words has become part of the layers themselves, leaving only traces beneath the surface. The painting is about the space between seeing and remembering — and about what remains when an image begins to fade.

« 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.
