Elise Adibi is a visual artist who works with natural ingredients, incorporating essential oils, natural pigments, and minerals into her paintings. The sensory quality of her work demands in-person viewing to fully appreciate the texture, smell, and size of her paintings. It was important for her website to replicate this experience as fully as possible within the limitations of the web. The homepage features a high resolution full screen image of a recent exhibition space, literally inviting the user to “enter” both visually and with the mouse cursor.
What follows is a minimalist site that focuses on Adibi’s visually stunning paintings. The textures and patterns of each work flow together in a 4-column grid on the Works page, where the user can then click to view works individually within its series. On the project page, one can zoom in up to 200% to explore the texture and small details of each piece. Each work is linked to exhibitions where it’s been shown, where one can see photos and a description of the exhibit. About, Press, and the CV pages are kept simple to quietly live in complement to Adibi’s vibrant work.
