Liz “Ela” Szymczak
Artist member since 2023
Toronto , Ontario
Liz aka Ela, is a self taught abstract artist known for her vibrant & joyful paintings. After experiencing a heart attack in 2018, she turned to painting as a way to ease anxiety & depression.
Having had such a close brush with death gave her a new found appreciation for every little moment in life. Inspired by the beauty and magic of the world around her, she creates abstract pieces that are bursting with colour and energy. Her work is a celebration of life, an expression of the joy & resilience of the human spirit.
Her work has been shown in galleries in Toronto and has appeared in House & Garden UK magazine. Her work can be found in private collections throughout Canada, the United States and Europe.
