Elise is a Belgian artist and art director living in Amsterdam. She has always been creative ever since she was little, but when she studied visual arts and advertising in Antwerp, creativity became part of her everyday life. During her studies, she was guided by inspirational teachers like Rinus Van De Velde, influences that stayed with her in the back of her mind. Even though she started her career in advertising, art was always present. After a few years, she decided to take the leap and put herself out there.

One of her biggest influences in art and life is Yves Klein. Ever since she learned about his career long commitment to creating the most radiant blue, she fell in love with both the devotion and the color itself. Blue has always been her favorite color, from the bird she had as a kid to the art classes at school where she learned about Yves Klein.
