About the artist

Through movement and marks, Keren explores the dialogue between the body and image, between what is felt and what is seen.

Her work reflects an ongoing search for the physical presence within the act of making, how the body leaves traces, how gesture becomes form, and how creation can emerge from within the movement itself.

 

Keren Eli is a visual artist whose work grows from movement and the body. Her background as a professional dancer continues to shape the way she creates and understand physical expression. Keren sees the body not only as a subject but as a language, leaving behind traces that speak through gesture, skin, hair, fingerprints.

Her practice explores the body both as a tool and a source of imagery. Through drawing and printmaking, which she developed during her studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, she looks for ways to translate movement, sensation, and presence into visual form.

 

Keren is very much drawn to the body as a place where memories, emotions, and identities are stored. Sometimes it remembers what the mind tries to forget, reacting unconsciously to familiar feelings or hidden experiences.  Her work seeks to uncover these layers and to find the space between movement and image, where the body’s inner language becomes visible.
