Eleanor Mill

In her practice, Eleanor draws upon the traditions of the old masters. She specializes in pencil drawings dedicated to the cityscape, real architecture, and architectural fantasies.
The romance of ruins holds a special place in her work. Exploring the majestic skeletons of historical architecture becomes a dialogue with the relentless passage of time.
