About Elinor Figueiredo: Elinor’s art is a collective expression of life's emotions. Elinor has drawn inspiration from the west coast where she was born and resides. Often drawing from cool tones associated with the ocean and forest. She engages the viewers to find comfort in the turmoil of the human experience. Her art exhibits the pain and joy of mystery. Using landscape portraits as well as human portraits she portrayed with somber color schemes and expressions, that are meant to settle in with comfortability. The viewer is left to question why and how humanity expresses themselves the way they do.
