"Bijna anderhalve eeuw later waren droge voeten voor Nederlanders net zo vanzelfsprekend als water uit de kraan. We beseffen nauwelijks dat veel van dit land van nature een paar meter onder een klotsende waterspiegel zou moeten liggen, en dat het leven zoals wij dat kennen snel zou eindigen zonder de inspanningen van tienduizenden mensen en generaties die de zee buiten hebben gehouden met eindeloos gezwoeg."
(Uit "Het Ontsnapte Land" van Geert Mak)

During her studies at the Art Academy in Breda, Elise Eekhout started her design agency. It allowed her to work for notable companies such as Technical University Delft, Suez International, Exact Software, Msys, Parklaan Buitengewone Projecten and many governmental organizations. In 2020 she decided to shift her primary focus to the fine arts.
Letters & Texts have always been a source of inspiration and wonder for Eekhout: when you think about it, the text is nothing but a series of characters in a row to which we have assigned meanings. We can experience a range of feelings and emotions just by looking at those signs.
Eekhout combines this fascination with the dream worlds she creates in her art. Her paintings tell stories that are not 'finished'. Image and text are often intertwined, creating a fascinating symbiosis.
This invites you to use your fantasy and imagination.
In the summer of 2021, her work was shown at several exhibitions in India.
And in the winter of that same year, one of her artworks inspired Margin Alexander, a New York City-based composer and pianist, to write a symphony.
Elise also makes commissioned work.
