Elisa’s style is characterized by a striking use of color, acrylic paint and the technique of applying self-made screen prints on canvas. One can read her paintings as an “archeology” of layered shapes and patterns that represent her global heritage. Elisa Lejuez finds her inspiration in the symbolism of everyday life and incorporates images of these multicultural aspects and eclecticism in her work.
Elisa Lejuez graduated in Arts at the Post University of Fine Arts in Arnhem, Netherlands in 1995 and she got her Masters Degree in 1997. She currently lives in Aruba.
