ELLA BAUDINET

(b. Melbourne, Australia)

In the artistic practice of the Australian artist, who currently resides and creates in the city of Melbourne, large formats predominate, employing oil on canvas. Her work focuses on unique individual perceptions through abstract expressionism. By combining these elements with pseudo-realism, she delves into both conscious and subconscious minds, as well as dream states. A play of layers, glazes, and juxtapositions emerges, where light and color take control. The energy evoked by both light and its absence is crucial in comprehending the use of tones. Shades of colors blend together, creating a nuanced lightness. The colors resonate thanks to the interplay of offered and hidden light, giving rise to a series of vital tensions and impulses that appeal to spirituality. At times, the fascination with the absence of light and its mystical allure dims the backgrounds of her canvases.
