Ellen Dijkhuis

Ellen Dijkhuis is a talented fashion designer and artist who combines these two professions to create dynamic paintings full of relief and colour. Working extensively with fabrics and textiles in addition to oils, her paintings reunite the world of fashion and art. The fabric is often integrated in colourful paint layers bringing unusual reliefs and decorative patterns to the foreground.
Ellen Dijkhuis’ unique personal style challenges traditional artistic boundaries and encourages the viewer to look closely and pay attention to detail. The subjects of her paintings are typically spherical, still images, in which people and their attire take centre stage.
