Guided by intuition and improvisation, Ellen De creates compositions that are emotionally resonant and conceptually provocative. Her art draws from constructivist photography, revolutionary propaganda, and industrial music, re-imagining these styles to critique contemporary ideologies.As she eloquently states, her art serves as a space where "the revolution relinquishes itself to establish a new tradition."
As she states, her art serves as a space where the tradition dies to become revolution.
