Elbé van
Rooyen was born in 1961 in Greytown, South Africa. She exhibited her work for
the first time at the tender age of fourteen; even at this early stage her
unique talent had already become evident. In the years that followed, her
artistic abilities and range grew from strength to strength. After completing
her studies at the Rand Afrikaans University and the University of Pretoria,
she pursued a career as an executive in the corprorate world. This demanding
life, however, could not separate her from her passion for painting. As her
reputation as an artist grew and numerous commissions followed, she decided in
1999 to devote all time and effort entirely to her art.Incorporating a
distinctive style, Elbé’s work captivates her audience with it’s delightful
essence. Bursting with vitality and dream-like diffusion, these paintings offer
a complete, self-contained world that belongs to the artist alone. With a
strong sense of Victorian romance her art continues to surpass the bounds of
impessionism and attains the greatness of classicism. Elbé draws from the real
world only what she enjoys, depicting subjects such as children and flowers,
and ultimately paying tribute to the beauty of femininity in colourful landscapes
suffused with light. Her natural ability to portray timeless serenity and
splendour on the canvas has led to widespread recognition with both local and
overseas clients, resulting in an ever-growing demand for her work. She lives
in the picturesque Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands where she works from her studio at
home.
