Keeping You Safe by Elle Pervez - This warm desert landscape has the feel of comfort, and for me, the swooping bird gives the impression of love - it makes me think of my daughters words, “love will always find you”. She’s only 6, but how beautiful and wise!
If you have ever been to the desert, and experienced the evening light with all the warmth and magic of the last light, you will no doubt feel connected to this warm, soft beautiful landscape.

Artist Bio: Elle Pervez is an Australian artist whose work is deeply informed by her upbringing between remote communities in the Northern Territory and a farm in rural New South Wales. Immersed from an early age in vast horizons and ever-shifting terrain, she developed a lasting connection to the Australian landscape, a connection that continues to shape and anchor her artistic practice.
Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, Elle builds richly layered compositions. Her practice often incorporates mixed-media elements such as metallic gold leaf and oil stick, adding luminosity and depth to her textured surfaces. The interplay between abstraction and landscape is central to her work, allowing memory, emotion and place to merge on the canvas.
Elle’s paintings seek to evoke a sense of connection; to land, to light, and to something both personal and collective. Through intuitive mark-making and expressive colour, she translates the feeling of wide skies, desert air and open space into immersive visual experiences. Her work invites viewers to pause, reflect, and find their own meaning within each piece.
At its heart, her practice is about transformation and resonance, creating artworks that bring warmth, depth and vitality into the spaces they inhabit.
In recent collections, her practice has expanded to explore the idea of metamorphosis, the in-between spaces of becoming, awakening and self-return. Her work is guided by intuition, often beginning without a fixed plan and unfolding organically, allowing emotion to lead composition.
Elle has participated in many group shows and solo exhibitions across the country. Most recently Elle was a Finalist in Leda Gallery’s Emerging Art Prize 2025, Green, and Revival Art and Design Gallery’s Emerging Artist Prize 2026.
