Ellen de Meijer (b. 1955, Netherlands) is a contemporary figurative painter whose meticulously composed portraits probe the fragile theatre of modern identity. Trained in classical technique yet deeply attuned to the tensions of the digital age, she explores how status, technology, and social validation shape the ways we present ourselves. Her figures oscillate between intimacy and distance, vulnerability and performance—what she calls “the toughest struggle of all.”

With exhibitions across the United States, Europe, and Asia, including Art Miami, Art Stage Singapore, and Hong Kong Contemporary, and a selection by NADA Curated in 2022, her work has earned international recognition. Her paintings are held in prominent private collections, including the VanDenBroek Foundation, one of the Netherlands’ leading collections.

This new suite of hand-pressed, limited-edition screen prints distills de Meijer’s distinctive visual world into highly collectible works. Each edition translates her archetypal characters—figures marked by ambition, aspiration, and subtle self-protection—into a graphic medium that sharpens their symbolic power. The crisp palettes, controlled gestures, and coded accessories that define her paintings reappear with renewed immediacy. Signed and produced in strictly limited quantities, these editions bring museum-level craftsmanship into the home, offering collectors an accessible yet richly resonant entry into an oeuvre centered on humanity’s enduring search for authenticity in an age of endless projection.
