Hi

My name is Eleanor, I’m an artist, textile designer and mentor based in London. I live with my rescue dog Lulu in an old Victorian textile factory thats been converted into a beautiful live work studio. My paintings are inspired by mid century design as well as picking up on my Iranian roots, the traditional architecture and geometric pattern combinations typical of the region. I’m interested in exploring the interaction of people and buildings, focusing on how colour and shape effect our mood and environment in the form of abstract paintings. The pieces are minimal in appearance but deliberate in their composition, colour and surface texture.

“Colour brings me so much joy and energy, it can completely change my mood. I love exploring different combinations and understanding how a single tone and placement can effect our frame of mind.”

My Palm Springs series is an ongoing investigative exploration into how the modular nature of mid century homes, in particular desert modernism architecture established in Palm Springs in the 1920s, brought the outside in allowing you to become immersed in the landscape.

Alongside painting I also have a soft furnishing brand called One Nine Eight Five, a British homeware brand supporting UK manufacturing. With a sustainable message at its core, each piece is consciously designed, sourced and produced with a no waste philosophy as standard. The collection is a celebration of colour and comfort helping to create homes that truly bring us joy.
