Ellen de Meijer (b. 1955, Amsterdam) is a contemporary figurative painter whose psychologically charged portraits examine power, identity, and the performance of modern life. Rooted in classical technique yet sharply attuned to the digital age, her work explores how status, technology, and social validation shape who we become — and how we are seen.

Her paintings have been exhibited internationally and are held in major private collections, including the VanDenBroek Foundation in the Netherlands.

The Limited Editions

This series of hand-pressed screen prints translates de Meijer’s most iconic archetypes into a bold, graphic language.

In these works, she intentionally engages with the chromatic vocabulary of Pop Art—paying homage to Andy Warhol through heightened color contrasts and flattened tonal intensity.

Yet unlike Pop’s fascination with celebrity and repetition, de Meijer’s figures remain psychologically charged. The saturated palettes amplify their inner tension rather than neutralize it.

Stripped to essential gesture and color, each edition retains the compositional rigor of her oil paintings while gaining a sharper immediacy.

Produced in strictly limited quantities and individually signed, these editions offer collectors direct access to de Meijer’s evolving dialogue between classical portraiture and contemporary image culture.
