Every-art
Illustrator & mixed-media artist
Hi, I'm Elke from Every-art. A Dutch illustrator based in Groningen.
As I’m struggling through life with all its challenges, questions and social structures., trying to find out where I belong and who I am, I tend to look for a place where I can just focus on the simple. The little things and moments and simply enjoy them.In my work as an illustrator I’ll take you with me to such a place. My little creatures live here. The bold ones, with the boobies. I try to shape an alternate world, where there are no boxes, no difficult structures, less stimulus. Hopefully with my work I can remind you what life is really about. Take away some stress and make you at ease.I like to work with a combination of analogue and digital techniques. Although my expertise is in illustration work, I love to make my ideas move by animation or film. I’m never stuck at one medium but rather experiment to find out what works best for a piece.
When I’m not working or creating I try to enjoy the little things in life by reading a good book, going on a long walk or drink really good coffee.

Mural
My first mural!
It's a piece overlapping multiple walls and the ceiling.
Exposition
This series of works is about my struggels around the social constructs of sexuality and gender.
In the works I try to shape a world where everyone is just a being instead of men, woman or something else. and where every being can make connections with others, without being labeld or put in a box.
The works were exposed in the spring of 2024 in a group exposition from Artquake.
