She is known for her genre painting of naïve art, a style which she has created by combining the classical theory of still life with naïve art in an unorthodox way. 

​

Technical mastery is distinctive in her works, but as if making fun of the classic technique, her beloved children’s book characters (the Crow, Franz the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Frog or the Fox) make their way into the paintings, creating a juxtaposition between the stillness of the composition and the energy of the characters.

​

Another characteristic of Elo’s paintings is that they take an intellectual but often slightly hidden standpoint; never political but rather illustrating the viewpoint of a bystander. 

​

It is rare in today’s world that an artist, like Elo, chooses to bring up an often forgotten trait like quality consciousness in her work. For who else paints her works on linen canvas the old masters used to do?
