Experiments
Ellen is the ideologist of a new direction in art — survirtualism. She experiments with realism, virtuality and her dreams. The results of her work and collaboration can be seen on her multi-million dollar Instagram account.
Ellen Sheidlin, born in 1994, is a multidisciplinary artist and the ideologist of survirtualism, whose work spans painting, photography, video art, sculpture, and illustration, blending technology with classical art forms.
Based in Asia, Sheidlin explores the intersection of digital innovation and traditional aesthetics. Her art probes the boundaries between virtual and physical realities, focusing on themes of transformation, fantasy, and human experience in a technology-driven world.
Exhibitions
Sheidlin’s work has been exhibited globally in prestigious venues. Notable solo exhibitions include shows at Beinart Gallery (Melbourne), Art in Space (Dubai), and Vanilla Gallery (Tokyo). She has participated in group exhibitions at Unit London gallery (London) and Superchief Gallery NFT (New York City). As a pioneer in digital art, Sheidlin actively contributes to NFT exhibitions. Her presence at major international art fairs, including Art Dubai, KIAF (represented by Tang Contemporary Art), and Art Fair Tokyo, underscores her growing influence in the contemporary art world.
“According to my personal feelings, this race and universal love for social networks will pass. Everyone will return to reality”
