Eelco Brand was born in 1969 in the Netherlands. In 1993 he exhibited various painting and computer animation works around Europe. His works deals with the subject of nature and the beauty of the natural world created through media. His intended process in creating his art work is all about what we observe in this world, hence what we see and what we do not see.

In the early 1990s, he abandons the medium of painting, which he had dedicated himself to, and makes use of innovative new media - scanned photographs and computer animated work. Eelco Brand’s intention was to abandon himself from the purely brushwork technique of painting and make a start in works using 3D software. His interest lies in the endless and varied nature and his animation works focus on continuity and progression. Eelco Brand’s work can be called to be “more of a framed painting than film production.”

Critics have highly praised Eelco Brand’s works by describing them as “painting in movement.” The role of the pixel and computer mouse which can be seen in his works is a replacement of the brush and pigment. This can be called to be the artist’s final digital touch which is a result of his continuing effort and time.
