ELI KEJ
An ode to the wonder laying in mystery;
when I rest on your shoulder,
the river carries me to deeper waters,
when I rest on your shoulder,
I'm enchanted by the wonder surrounding me.
When I rest on your shoulder,
oh dear wonderful mystery,
I belong
Elo, I'm Eli
My personal values that lead my work are based in being at peace with what is present.
To stop resisting and listen to the souls desire.
The Eros within that seeks the unique expression of the soul brings individuation,
and the heart that connects all beings brings the collective into a network that holds all these desires and so weaves reality with threads of love.
My style of visual art is linked to the mythopoetic understanding of reality that I live. My way of composing is based on the Fibonacci sequence and I’m constantly evolving deeper understanding of beauty.
OFFERINGS
I enjoy listening with all my senses to what is desired in a situation and to uncover what is mine to give. My work is an offering to the discovery and journey of my soul path. This is reflected in my belief that every interaction is a lesson along the way. Collaborations that come along must be aligned for all involved and there is patience with the process of sensing a match. Knowing that my talent can translate concepts and make them tangible.
I trust in the process.
INK IN SKIN
An artistic exploration of a ritualistic practice.
Transcending traditional boundaries, using design to collaborate with 'self' and integrate personal mythology, healing, and artistic expression.
Whilst in loving collaboration with the body's flow and texture to articulate a story that lives and breathes within you.
LOGO DESIGN
Ethos - Logos - Pathos
ethos (character): known as “the appeal to credibility.”
pathos (emotions): known as “the appeal to emotion.”
logos (logic): known as “the appeal to reason.”
ILLUSTRATIONS
My way of processing information is through engagement of the visual field. So, whenever I must comprehend a topic, I draw up a doodle that represents aspects of it.
By reading mythology and seeing inspiring works of artists like Gustave Doré, Salvador Dali or Raffaello Sanzio da Urbin, I became intrigued to represent stories that shape culture.
I started studying compositions by reference and used automatic drawing techniques to find the rhythm my hand wants to move with. This modality of art is closely linked to my soul expression.
GALLERY
Welcome to my gallery of artistic endeavors. Here you’ll find a selection of my work.
My achievement is found in the progress of my soul path. So far, it’s noticeable through the stories my body wears and the quality of interactions I can offer. When my talents are recognized as valuable my inner child makes “Purzelbäume”. There are no awards on my shelves besides the checkpoints marked by symbolic totems on my altar.
