Elise Eekhout - Twilight

In this painting, the artist has captured the essence of a tempestuous seascape with sweeping strokes of acrylic paint and delicate touches of gilding. This blend of expressionism and impression evokes a deep sense of tranquility and contemplation. Eekhout paints to invite the viewer into introspection and to appreciate the beauty of subtle, layered textures. This artwork brings a serene, reflective energy into any home.

This piece is part of the series “Echoes of the Landscapes” by Elise Eekhout and represents an abstract interpretation of a seascape, where every element reveals its own hidden beauty. Created with Windsor & Newton and Amsterdam Pro acrylics, the painting maintains the loose, expressive style the artist developed during her studies and personal journey at the St. Joost Academy (Breda).

Throughout the day, changing light causes the metallic details to shimmer and fade, transforming the painting as the hours pass.

About the artist:
Elise Eekhout is a visual artist whose work brings painting and language together in a subtle, layered dialogue. Inspired by literature, memory, and landscape, she creates works in which text and image coexist—sometimes clearly visible, sometimes barely perceptible. Letters function both as meaning and as form, dissolving as soon as they are read.
Using acrylics, silkscreen, and precious materials such as gold and silver leaf, Eekhout builds surfaces that respond to light and movement. As the viewer’s position changes, words emerge or disappear and landscapes shift between presence and abstraction. Each work reveals itself slowly over time.
Themes of memory, transformation, and humanity’s connection to nature run through her practice. Eekhout’s paintings invite quiet attention and reward prolonged viewing, offering collectors a contemplative work that continues to unfold long after it enters a space.
