Discover the figurative artworks of Ellen Cornelis. EC Gallery takes you into a mysterious world of black and white figuration. These are scenes that speak and simultaneously bring silence and balance.
Rooted in the modernist tradition, her work seeks clarity and equilibrium. The artworks are characterised by thoughtful composition and an understated, yet powerful visual language.
In her scenes and still lifes, figures and everyday objects play a symbolic role: the table invites conversation, the window opens a new perspective. These elements give her work a layered character, where familiarity and mystery converge.
Ellen Cornelis creates a universe in which the familiar is continuously surprising. Her art invites reflection and the discovery of hidden stories.
In addition to her independent work, Ellen also creates portraits and custom pieces in this unique style.
Ellen Cornelis was born in Ghent (1974) and trained at Luca Ghent Master Graphic Design.
