Les Silences N07 (2024) Photography by Ella Bats

Ella Bats (1993) is a French photographic artist based in Paris.

Her work falls within a current of photographic experimentation. She shapes, alters and reconstructs the image in superimposed layers, multiplying and merging the layers of the visible to reveal the depths of being or elements.

Through color, light, shapes and materials, she explores the inner vibration of subjects, capturing what emanates from them: energy flows, invisible memories, changing states of mind.

Each photograph becomes a living surface, a space of transformation where the invisible takes shape through the perceptible.

Her gaze explores the intimate and questions the links between the inner world and its representation. Her images function like inner mythologies: inhabited figures, bodies traversed by invisible forces, silent narratives open to interpretation. She opens silent passages where light, color, and movement tell what cannot be said.

Her work has been exhibited at the Ellia Art Gallery (2023/2025), La Samaritaine (2022/2023), the MAP Festival (2022), the Tranoï showroom at the Palais Brongniart (2022), the Villa Noailles Festival in Hyères (2021), Galerie Madé (2021), the Tom Faulkner showroom in London (2021), the Paul Smith Albemarle Street space in London (2021), the Fashion for Sidaction photo sale (2021), the Rencontres Photographiques du 10ème festival (2019), the PH21 gallery in Budapest (2017), the Promenades Photographiques de Vendôme with the Mark Grosset Prize (2016), the Terroirs de France and Jeune Photographie exhibitions in Berlin, Yokohama, and Moscow (2016), and was selected as a finalist for the Picto Fashion Photography Prize (2025).
