Description: A stunning original oil painting by Elvic Steele, tentatively titled ‘Blooming Energy’. This piece showcases Steele’s masterful use of organic abstraction, featuring a mesmerizing central bloom rendered in deep crimson and vibrant pink tones. Layered petal-like forms radiate outward, with subtle green outlines creating a sense of movement and depth. The textured brushwork, combined with the layered composition, draws the eye inward to the glowing center of the piece.
The darker background contrasts beautifully with the vivid focal point, suggesting themes of growth, vitality, and energy emerging from within. Steele’s ability to balance structure and fluidity is evident here, blending surrealist influences with a meditative and organic aesthetic.
Perfect for collectors of surrealist or nature-inspired art, ‘Blooming Energy’ serves as a bold and elegant centerpiece for any contemporary or eclectic interior, evoking both strength and tranquility.
We have been dealing in the works of Elvic Steele since 1998, having become gripped with the artists work when attending her Studio Sale at Christies in London (July 1998).

Elvic Steele
Elvic Steele was British female artist who grew up in the countryside and developed a lifelong passion for nature. She became an experienced biologist and botanist as well as a keen gardener. Her interpretation of plants in her art, the attention to detail reveals the depth of her knowledge of nature. Steele spent all of her adult life teaching in various schools near her home in Essex. In 1946, she was awarded a sabbatical to attend the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing at Benton End in Suffolk, run by Sir Cedric Morris. It was in Morris' garden at Benton End that she found a great deal of her inspiration and continued studying and painting there until the 1970s. Steele's work was regularly shown at the Colchester Art Society Exhibition and she also had a solo exhibition in 1960 when she was in the Isles of Scilly. On returning to Great Dunmow in Essex in 1963, she took evening classes at the Dunmow Art Group meetings. There, she exhibited in the Art Group's Exhibition and in villages in the district. Whilst living in Royal Leamington Spa (1984-88) she had two solo exhibitions at the Royal Spa Centre and also showed at the Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum. At this time, she also sent a number of paintings to the Benton End Group Exhibition in Essex.
