UNTITLED, 75*105cm, oil on canvas
The long standing theme of my work is “human”. In other words, when I reflected on my curiosity and interests, “human” is always there. When I am among people, I start to think “what is human and human nature?”
While thinking about that, I looked at the place where people were gathered. It was on the calm water surface of a lake that was a full of sea weed, it was between the space dancing waves, it was under blazing the sun. It was on the grass where was full of spirit of spring and it was the moment of an ecstatic sunset before a darkness.
People unite and share their emotion through their common interest in nature. It happen very naturally that is possible without any artificial effort. I observe them all and try to express the composition and order that they make. I hope people not only to see ‘human’ in the beautiful scenery, but also to discover where human comes from what they are in my works.

Pretty Time Machine, 30x40 inches,mixed media on gallery canvas.
Every technical and philosophical facet of my art is committed to the application of mixed media, redefining the term to include concepts and ideas as well as tangible physical materials. This cross-genre pasticcio is born from and dependent on collage, which naturally experiments with subliminality, intercontextuality and the unexpected narratives that emerge from both playful and planned juxtapositions. Each work is assembled from an unlimited assortment of tools, themes, genres, and inspirations. A work may be created from acrylic paint, gouache, found papers, chalk pastels, oil sticks, wax crayons, graphite, spray paint, poetry, overheard dialogue, religious ritual, music, mythology, television, and etymology. My expression springs from my insatiable curiosity, bent humour, the intersection of the sacred and inane, and enchantment with the fruits of human innovation and creativity. To this end, an ongoing lifelong study of visual art history, the arts, and the humanities, is essential to my work. From serene, minimalist abstractions to frantic pentimenti imbroglio, my work embraces appropriation and challenges constructs of genre, colour orthodoxy and technical craftsmanship. But the traditional importance of beauty in millennia of art history is a conviction I share. To obtain beauty in every work, I strive to evoke emotion, achieve mastery of composition, and discover new ways of seeing and defining what is beautiful.

ELISE MENDELLE
Lost in Thought, Oil on canvas, 51 x 76 cm.
I paint in a loose, rhythmical style, stripping back my subjects to reveal only what is necessary for the viewer to interpret the presented scene. My paintings are primarily of women, capturing a private moment in time and posing the question 'what happens next?'. Using textured oil paint creates a connection between the imagined and real world, where people can get lost in my paintings as I offer a window through which to escape and dream.
I have embraced painting throughout lockdown, the challenge of looking inward, as well as forward towards an unknown future. I wish to give people compassion, empathy and understanding through the experience of my art, pushing them to look deeper to see what will emerge. I use my art to draw intensity from simple moments and create beauty from the mundane.

"P No:005", 2020, 21 x 30 cm, Lambda C-Type Print, Edition of 4.
Times change but people rarely do so. With curfews and a deadly disease around the corner; “The New Era” we live in, we stay home and detached.
Thanks to the internet maybe we are even more “outside” than ever before. Travelling through human history and creations of all times. In an era like this, I started to capture visuals that depict human technology in a more familiar way, a way of material nostalgia. Virtual space photography, as a drastically different medium to me, I aimed to capture the spirit of our world and people. Collection of fragments from anyone's memory.
Intimate but non personal photographs, captured in the virtual spaces, aspires viewers to remember and re-experience each and every human emotion they are capable of.
