Ellen Sheidlin (b. 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture, photography, and digital art.
Sheidlin began her artistic journey by creating surreal photographs which gained her widespread recognition on the Internet. Later, she pursued formal art education in Florence, expanding her practice to painting and sculpture.
For over 10 years, Sheidlin has used social media as the main platform for her work, blending Internet aesthetics with imagery from personal mythology to create a unique artistic world. She describes her artistic approach as 'survirtualism'—a fusion of the digital and the physical, the dreamlike and the real, the material and the intangible.
The artist often incorporates her own image into her work, exploring the multifaceted nature of identity and the endless sensations, dimensions, and worlds that exist within each person. Sheidlin has exhibited her work worldwide, including in Japan, Italy, the UK, Taiwan, France, Russia, Australia, South Korea, Thailand, and the USA.
Sheidlin's artistic practice has led to the growth of her Instagram profile, which now has more than 4.1 million followers, along with a dedicated page for her paintings, followed by over 220,000 people.
Sheidlin also collaborates extensively with global brands, creating works for companies such as Nike, Estée Lauder, Moncler, Bacardi, BMW, Instagram, Swatch, Schwarzkopf, L’Oréal, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and more.
