Where every line is meaningful and less is more
Elise Mendelle is a figurative artist drawn to the quiet power of the female form and the emotional depth that lies within everyday moments. Her work centres on capturing women in states of introspection, where line, colour, and texture converge to tell a story that is both personal and universal. Each piece she creates is an exploration of identity, emotion and the complex layers of the female experience, creating a dialogue about the often-overlooked emotional landscapes that define our lives.
Elise paints in acrylics, using bold brushstrokes and a subtle palette of neutral colours. Her paintings are minimalist, sitting on the cusp of abstraction, giving the viewer space to interpret and connect on their terms.
Elise Mendelle joinned Studio Fridays in 2020.
