About
I am Elor, a French and British artist originally from Le Grand-Bornand, in the Aravis mountains at the heart of the French Alps.
After spending five years in Scotland studying Applied Art at the University of Edinburgh, where I developed my love for painting and glass blowing, I returned to my native mountains to dedicate myself fully to my artistic practice.
My work explores the relationship between mind, body, and surrounding environment. My practice is intuitive and meditative, shaped by repetition, gesture, and a restricted colour palette. Working primarily with watercolour, I explore variations of tone and density within a single hue, creating compositions that suggest movement and suspension rather than fixed images.
I paint both feminine figures and abstract works, which coexist equally within my practice. The body, particularly the feminine body, is approached as a landscape of lines, curves, tensions, and rhythms. Alongside this, my abstract paintings are inspired by natural environments and the organic forms found within them. Both subjects are united by a shared attention to fluidity, repetition, and movement.
Each artwork is part of a continuous and evolving process. While painting is for me a deeply personal and therapeutic act, once completed the work no longer belongs to me. It becomes an open space for contemplation, inviting the viewer to slow down and experience a different way of seeing.
