Elles BB started painting at a later age and is completely self-taught.
The question 'Why did you start painting?' does not contain a story about education and
art academy but the surprising answer is: "I was with my sister at Leen
Bakker and she bought some small canvases and then I thought, let me do that too
give it a try."
So a real enthusiast. She soon found appreciation and recognition in her
environment and after a number of years also abroad. But her approach remains
that of an enthusiast. When you ask her to tell you something about herself,
she says, "I paint." That's what she does and that statement is also characteristic of her
work.
Yet her creativity did not come out of the blue. All her life she has
concerned with design, furnishing and fashion. This is how she worked for a
number of well-known Dutch interior decorators and she herself has had a
had a shop in Deventer. First vintage and curiosities and later American seconds in
combination with fashion. She has always tried to make her environment beautiful
and beautify. She can only find peace in a harmonious environment. And if that
isn't there, she creates it herself.
Elles prefers to paint with great panache on large canvases. You can almost say that
she models her canvases. She hardly ever works with a brush, but often with
palette and putty knives, but also with all kinds of other 'tools' that
are within reach. She usually works "wet in wet" because she is in a hurry. she comes in
a 'flow' and cannot stop.
Elles has no idea what she is working towards. In fact, she
can hardly imagine anything visually. That means she's starting a job
with a vague feeling and then something arises. And then gradually she sees what it is
is becoming. She has short periods in which she produces comparable paintings. But
then a cover comes and she makes something completely different again. This creates shorter or
longer runs.
She is regularly asked at home and abroad for exhibitions in galleries
and at exhibitions.
