"The art of creating has as many limits as the Universe". Since I don't know the limits of the Universe, I don't think creating has any limits at all.

Elly, born in Lyon 25 years ago, is a self-taught artist who finds fulfillment in creation. Moving between France and Italy, her shy, dreamy childhood led her to explore various means of expression, including painting, drawing and collage. After an atypical career path, marked by design studies and a difficult period in the car trade, Elly devoted herself fully to her art. Her works, imbued with her experiences and dreams, invite us to take a journey without limits, guided by her boundless imagination.

Elly's creations are deeply influenced by her personal experiences and fascination with the universe. Primarily using acrylics and Poscas, she also incorporates various techniques such as collage and dry or grease pencils. Her childlike, intuitive approach translates into the use of bright colors and raw materials, reflecting her refusal of established rules. Inspired by life and space, Elly blends these two worlds in her work, creating dreamlike landscapes and polka-dot backgrounds inspired by Yayoi Kusama. Her work, influenced by the Pop movement, invites the viewer on a journey into the unknown, often guided by a little astronaut. The overall message of his works is an invitation to dream and escape, whatever your age.
