Ella Baudinet is an Australian artist, currently living and creating art in the city of London. Known for her unmatched style of oil painting, Ella’s work explores the merging of abstraction, realism and surrealism. The artist continues to explore how technology can expand her painting practice while using the expression in aid of healing, wellness and sacred expression.
“The unity of the mind, body and spirit are at the very heart of my work. Painting continues to be an exploration into my own journey of healing and discovery, documenting the evolution of Self through the process. Art, as an expression, is like a flowing dance between conscious and subconscious, and in turn the paintings often serving as a mirror both to myself and to those who engage with them. My healing and art practices are intertwined - one cannot exist without the other. At its core, my work is an expression of duality, an invitation to reconcile with the conflicting aspects within, while celebrating the power of love as a transformative force.
In 2014 I had a vision of my future work. It was incredibly refined, abstract, yet surreal. Deeply spiritual. Through an act of impatience after years of attempting to reach that vision through intuitive painting, I began to use technology as a way of fast tracking my creative process. I started to create and complete my images digitally before laying any paint down. This opened up a whole world of potential. Digitally, the intuitive process was confined to a very safe environment for experimentation. I could quickly navigate composition, colour, focal points. I can’t even imagine how much time it would have taken me to get there manually through layers of dried paint and failed attempts. Now, I’m in an beautiful, healthy flow with my work and thrilled to be fulfilling my vision."
Ella has developed a strong connection with clients and galleries over the past 7 years of working as a full time artist. Her work is hung in private collections worldwide, predominantly in Australia, United Kingdom, America and Spain.
