ELB is the creator of Painted Poems, a body of work where poetry, image, and sound converge into singular, contemplative experiences. For over five decades, ELB has explored the intersection of language, visual and musical form, developing a practice that is both rigorous and quietly immersive.

Painted Poems are presented as unified literary & visual experiences — each work designed to be encountered with patience, reflection, and presence. The "Blood & Bone 2026 and Divine Love Collection 2025" exemplifies this approach, where subtle shifts in tone, texture, and rhythm guide the viewer through a meditative journey.

The work is stewarded under The Poet’s Foundation, a non-profit established to preserve, protect, and present ELB’s creations for future generations. This ensures that the integrity and contemplative nature of the work are maintained beyond the artist’s active practice.

Flesh & Bone Collection 2026

In the Flesh & Bone Collection "triangles" form the essential modular unit of each Painted Poem, fragmenting and reassembling the human profile and spaces, with quiet precision and poetic text.

The collection revisits the power of the triangle as a geometric language in the new, modern world of art. Adding poetic depth to the "triangular forms" opens new doors for the artist to unite the literary and the visual, and enhance communication with elegant restraint.
