Elles always draws her drawings on the spot and that process takes weeks up to months. No AI or any computer has been used; Elles has a steady hand and enjoys working as an urban scetcher on the spot. Colouring mostly happens in her studio at NDSM Amsterdam.

Van Gogh collected many Japanese woodblock prints during his life and inspired Elles to create a work inspired by Japanese prints.
For the first time, Elles replaced reality with an artistic impression, using cinematographic aspects in her own unique vibrant style to let the Eye Filmmuseum be experienced in a different way. Her latest work contains many symbolic references to the subject of film, water and Amsterdam.

The artwork ‘Het Eye Filmmuseum’ will soon be on display in the shop of Het Eye Filmmuseum and can also soon be purchased via the website of Elles Middeljans.
