TVAnimalista interview
Dana Ellyn: “Tengo unos principios fuertes y es por eso que dicen que pinto con agresividad”
Dana Ellyn es pintora y tiene su estudio en el centro de Washington DC. Ellyn decidió dejar su trabajo en una empresa y dedicarse plenamente a la pintura. Su trabajo se ejemplifica con una visión de asunción de riesgos, contenido fuerte, y críticas a las normas sociales. El estilo de Ellyn lo localizamos entre el realismo social y el expresionismo que se esfuerza por infundir emoción y significado a cada nueva pintura que crea.
La entrevistamos en la exposición que efectuó en Barcelona en la sala Flash Gallery del barrio de Sants, donde exhibió obras de contenido sobre los Derechos Animales.
In English
Dana Ellyn: “I have strong principles, and that’s why they say I paint with aggressiveness.”
Dana Ellyn is a painter with a studio in downtown Washington, DC. Ellyn decided to leave her corporate job and devote herself fully to painting. Her work is exemplified by a risk-taking vision, strong content, and critiques of social norms. We place Ellyn’s style between social realism and expressionism, striving to infuse emotion and meaning into each new painting she creates.
We interviewed her at her exhibit in Barcelona at Flash Gallery in the Sants neighborhood, where she showed works about animal rights.
