Dutch artist Elly Strik uses drawings and painting to explore the deepest caverns of the human soul. She depicts dreams, impulses and hallucinations in a unique style that shares similarities with the work of Goya, Ensor, Symbolism and the theories of Sigmund Freud. In her work – for which she uses charcoal, graphite, chalk, ink, pastel, oil and enamel paint – she effortlessly alternates small, intimate formats with monumental volumes of some two or three metres.
