Ela Bochenek is an abstract artist born in Poland, who spent sixteen years living by the sea before making Cheshire her home. Deeply inspired by the natural world, she is fascinated by its textures, colours and changing landscapes, and the way it continually adapts, responds and evolves.

Working primarily with acrylic paint, ink, natural pigments and layered textures, Ela approaches painting as a conversation. Through observation, response and layers of experimentation, each work gradually finds its own direction.

Her paintings are deeply personal in origin, yet they leave space for the viewer's own experiences and interpretations. They invite a slower way of looking, encouraging moments of reflection and revealing new relationships over time.
