Elisa Albrecht

Elisa Albrecht is from Cleveland Ohio, she was born in 1991 and studied Fine art with a focus on drawing and painting at Kent State University. Currently, her work is focused in styles from surrealism, using the techniques of decalcomania. An inventive mode of drawing with either ink or thick paint on canvas, using wet mediums creating blots and patterns on a surface created from pressed paper. Using these as a starting point, Elisa finds shapes within or of the entire blot itself to work from to form an object. From those shapes, she adds lines and other various gestural marks to create various, figures, and spaces. Although the scenes that she creates on the page are mainly based on the variations of forms within the ink, the imagery is heavily influenced by themes of storytelling with comics and literature of science fiction and fantasy. As well as research of landscapes, historical architecture. She also does work in watercolor and other mediums for portraits, illustration for character art, books, and other projects.
