Elke’s artworks move at the intersection of analog and digital media. From simple sketches that capture an essence to layered illustrations full of symbolism: her work reflects the versatility of life itself. Some images radiate joy, while others invite stillness and introspection.
Emotion is the common thread throughout her oeuvre. The human emotional life is explored and visualized in all its shades and forms. The powerful yet vulnerable woman often takes a central role in this. She embodies the tension between fragility and resilience, between softness and inner strength.
With her work, Elke invites the viewer on an emotional journey — a journey that touches the core of being human and leaves room for recognition, reflection, and connection.
In addition to her digital and mixed media works, Elke also works with acrylics on canvas. In these paintings, color and flowers take a prominent place. They form an expressive counterpart to her illustrative work and bring forward a sense of growth, softness, and zest for life.
Elke creates using drawing, acrylics, mixed media, and digital techniques, driven by a passion for art she has had since childhood. Alongside her own work, she runs Fabel, a graphic design studio. She loves both peace and deadlines, relaxes with walking, running, and strength training, and yes… coffee is a must.
