Elise Eekhout - Drifting Over Quiet Waters

This acrylic painting is part of a minimalist series in which bold, graphic color fields meet small, hyper-realistic details. A deep petrol-blue sea fills the lower half of the canvas, while a softer, lighter blue sky opens up above it. In the upper right corner, a single seagull glides effortlessly through the air — a delicate, realistic element that contrasts with the clean, graphic surfaces surrounding it.

The work reflects the artist’s background in graphic design, where clarity, balance and color are essential. By combining these disciplined fields with a finely painted seagull, the artist plays with scale, tension and silence. The vastness of the scene evokes freedom and contemplation, as if the viewer is given a moment to breathe.
A serene and quietly powerful piece that merges pop-art influences with contemporary minimalism.

Eekhout is known for her ability to blend design sensibilities with painterly storytelling. This artwork is an elegant example of that fusion—modern, uplifting, and eye-catching.

A unique and contemporary piece that stands out in any interior.
