the story

Once upon a time, there was a girl who carried a quiet ache in her chest. No one could see it, but it followed her everywhere. Until one day it grew so heavy it pulled her beneath the surface.

She sank into an ocean of sorrow and met the darkest parts of herself in the depths. Deeper and deeper until the light she had known disappeared.

She stayed there for a while. Listening, weeping, and after a time something stirred. It wasn’t a rescue, or a sudden light. It came as a whisper. A quiet presence. A grace that didn’t demand she rise, but sat beside her in the dark.

Slowly the pressure began to lift. In the stillness, it began. Small and steady. Soft and sacred. Hope.

Breath by breath, she rose a little higher. And one day, many days after sinking, she reached the surface. She found that the world had not changed, but she had.

The girl is me. The girl is you. This is her story. A story of grief. And of grace.

collectors reviews

  • I’ve had the privilege of witnessing Eliora’s growth as an artist firsthand. Her debut series, Echoes of Grace, is a deeply moving body of work—rooted in personal experience yet universally resonant. It speaks to anyone who has walked through hardship and still dares to believe in beauty, in healing, and in grace.

    Eliora’s ability to translate emotional and spiritual depth onto canvas is rare. Through rich textures, layered color, and the symbolic use of gold leaf, she creates pieces that don’t just catch your eye—they stay with you. Watching this series come to life in my studio has been an honor, and I’m excited to see where her journey leads next.

  • I bought one of Eliora’s painting when she was living in Ethiopia and I love it so much! The painting is of a street in Addis Ababa, and I bought it because I love the color scheme, mark making, and depiction — the muted blue and green undertones with selective development draws your eyes around the painting and highlights the beauty of everyday life in Ethiopia.
