Eleisha Pirouet is a multimedia fine artist specialising in chalk pastel, oil and acrylic painting, as well as illustration. Her work explores the interconnectivity of landscapes and the duality of scale, identifying rhythms and patterns in nature that exist at both macro and micro scales of observation.
Examining commonalities across the spaces she calls home, Eleisha translates these hidden patterns through delicate etching layered against bold colour fields. This system of seeing extends to her practice of observational painting and drawing, applying the same technique to portraiture and still life, and seeking to create dynamic compositions that capture fleeting moments in time and space.

Prevailing Splendour is a series of three oil still lifes. Rough and painterly, the works depict floral centrepieces in the early stages of wilting, capturing a fixed vibrancy within their decline. Twisting foliage and curling petals transform into sculptural, dancing forms while remaining recognisable to their earlier selves.
The series draws on suburban nostalgia and memories of the seasonal agapanthus, daffodils and irises that populated the artist's childhood front yard. It reflects a quiet desire to preserve fleeting beauty, extending its life through paint and finding value in every transitional state.
