Siren Song (33 x 43cm) Elle Purvez

Elle Pervez grew up in a creative family of five, between a farm in rural New South Wales and remote communities in the Northern Territory. This inspired within her a love of the vast and ever changing Australian landscape, which continues to be a strong influence in her art practice.

Her signature style is abundant with colour and texture; she uses a combination of brush strokes and palette knives to build textural detail, and every now and again you will see metallic gold leaf and oil stick in order to create a unique mixed media work with a sense of luxury.

Elle's artworks are all about conjuring a sense of connectedness to the Australian landscape, using colour and shape to convey and evoke emotion, memory and a sense of place. After a work is finished, she often takes her paintings on little adventures to photograph them out in the native Australian bushland.

“I love painting landscapes with loose emotive brush strokes and building textural detail with palette knives. It brings me great joy to find that others love my work too, and that my paintings are now hanging in homes all over Australia!”
