I never promised you a rose garden

Through her latest series, she delves into the persistent motion of life and the complexities of societal dynamics within today’s world. Drawing inspiration from nature’s constant state of rhythms, Eline’s work encapsulates the interplay between individuals and their surroundings.

In this new series of paintings, Eline guides the viewer into a world where conflicting energies can coexist in harmony, echoing the natural movement in the world. She believes there is always a point of centralisation to be found if one takes the time to look for it. Expanding on the idea of societal polarisation in her previous work, in I Never Promised You a Rose Garden Eline suggests a way forward through movement. A movement present in all of nature, where nothing ever stays the same. This complexity is also paralleled by her use of oil paint, which allows for a deeper exploration of colour and composition.
