About Els

Every sale pays Els directly.A meaningful share of each purchase goes to the artist.

Els Print Shop draws its identity from the historical tradition of 17th-century Brussels printing houses. These establishments were known for producing political propaganda and disseminating information across Europe during a pivotal era of print culture. The works associated with this name reflect the heritage of early European printmaking. Rather than focusing on a single creator, the collection highlights the collaborative and often anonymous nature of historical press work rooted in academic and historical literature.

Visual voice

The aesthetic centers on the techniques of 17th-century printmaking, characterized by the bold lines and communicative power of political broadsides. These pieces prioritize clear messaging and the graphic styles typical of early Brussels workshops.
