Elise Eekhout
Netherlands
Before entering the artworld, Elise Eekhout has been a successful graphic designer for over 20 years. Visualizing is her second nature. Letters and texts have always been a source of inspiration and wonder for her. That is why Elise started as a graphic designer. But now, as an artist, she combines this fascination with the images she creates in her artworks. Graphic design, illustration, art. Each is meant to tell a story to the audience: graphic design is used to communicate a message in a very clear way and illustrations are used to support that message. But with her art, Eekhout likes to tell an unfinished story with enough room for you to use your own imagination. Access Elise Eekhout Newsroom

Illustrations
The artist developed a new style of illustrations in bright colors for a series of digital magazines for the Dutch Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate. The artist made these line drawings in a Picasso-like style. Complex subjects, such as construction restrictions and noise pollution, are visually reduced to the core. Number 01 of the magazine, and the according series of illustrations, gives information about the safety on and around Schiphol Airport.
