This stunning selection of original and limited edition artworks sees ‘elp’ return to her raw self, following her large-scale interactive LUX installation in 2021. Her personal experiences of classical opera and art in Italy are weaved into each of the female nudes, which are titled after musical terms like vivace (lively) and nocturne (inspired by the night).

Creating contrast between darkness and luminescence through chiaroscuro – a technique used by artists including Caravaggio – ‘elp’ uses light as an allegory for energy. She explains: “I’ve got to make my own energy. I am alive, and I want to paint paintings that make me feel alive and free. I’m going to swell and swish it up and be colourful, bold and totally me.”

THIS is ÉKSTASIS. Never forget to be your own Ecstasy
