“Ik zie de ziel van de wereld en begin te schilderen.”

My Grammar of Illumination

 

“Ik zie de ziel van de wereld en begin te schilderen.”

Ella-Jenna Oosterglorenwoud (1999) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work moves between the painted image and the written word. She explores how light, memory, and nature disclose themselves to perception.

 

With years of exploring diverse artistic techniques and a master’s in creative writing, she has shaped a practice where visual art, poetry, and spirituality meet. ​

 

​Under Lichtbeeltenis, she paints in the slow, traditional language of oil, while also creating mixed-media works in which calligraphy, fine-art photography, and digital painting interlace. In her hands, light becomes a kind of architecture, and nature a living counterpart in perception — thresholds where landscape, sensation, and intimacy entwine. Each work is a pause in the current, a moment suspended between breath and thought.

Alongside her visual work, Ella-Jenna writes as philosopher and poet. Her essays articulate her symphilosophy: to exist is to remember; to remember is to exist. Memory is an act, not an archive; what flows seeks form, and what finds form remembers.

 

She advances a Romantic-existential ars poetica: grammar of illumination joining inner life and landscape so the infinite flickers through the finite. Her poems are synesthetic explorations in which language turns tactile — tones felt as colour, textures heard as tempo — gathering impressions, emotions, and the breathing of the natural world.

 

Text and image answer one another, offering passages rather than conclusions — synaesthetic crossings.

“I see painting as one of my Romantic-existential acts: to remember the world by revealing its soul. Light is my metaphysical thread; image, its echo. I move between dusk and dawn, translating sensation into forms where memory, nature, and wonder meet.

 

Hildegard of Bingen’s viriditas names my impulse: a greening pressure of vision, an awakened faith moving through the maker—sap, not doctrine. What flows seeks form; what finds form remembers. Creation becomes lucid reciprocity: existence entrusts its moments to me; I return them as signs. To exist is to remember; remembering is current work.

 

In this dialogue, across series and seasons, my many creations witness chance and grace, keeping faith with beauty. I call this symphilosophy.

Symphilosopher

- my vision in Literature -
karakters van geest
Geloof in het Goede

In imagery, language becomes a dynamic synesthetic phenomenon. You sense the ambience of my mind.

 

In literary and poetic creations, Ella-Jenna Oosterglorenwoud fuses impressions, emotions, and observations of life, nature, and culture into languages. You read and touch the ripples and sparkles of her thought processes.

You are welcome to read her literary creations.

The philosophy essay module is in preparation.

Coming soon.
