Ellena van Riet is a Brisbane artist known for her abstract, mixed media artworks. The following words by New York based Australian artist, David Rankin, capture the spirit and feeling of Ellena and her painting:
“Ellena van Riet is a painter of the spirit. Her images reach out to those states of being often not evident on the surfaces of life. Her deeply felt and compelling vocabulary of symbols and brushstrokes can transport the viewer through flights of joy and freedom or challenge us with brooding darker moments. Her voice is clear, demanding and passionate.”
