Artistic Vision

I’m drawn to the moment when the real world stops deciding what is possible. Dreams give me the first scene; as I work, its details begin to reveal themselves. Fish, bodies, flowers and strange creatures meet in images filled with movement, play and mystery. I know where each story begins, but I don’t want to close it. The viewer should be free to enter the image and carry the story somewhere else.

About Eli

For Eli Yazdani, making images is a way of returning to herself. Working in Hamburg under the name El’Art, she draws from dreams and an imagination that refuses fixed rules, creating surreal worlds alive with movement, mystery and possibility.
