How does the city you live in shape the way you see the world?

Lillie Erhardt’s work explores the meeting point between the city and nature. Drawing on the principles of architecture — proportion, rhythm, repetition and asymmetrical balance — she translates the forms of nature into abstract paintings.

Having grown up close to nature and living in the city today, Lillie draws inspiration from the contrast between these two environments. The structures, patterns and rhythms of the urban landscape influence the way she observes and interprets nature. Architectural lines, geometric forms and the balance between order and irregularity become part of her visual language, shaping how organic forms take shape on the canvas.

Through abstract painting, Lillie explores how the built environment influences our perception of the natural world. Her work brings together the structure of the city and the spontaneity of nature, transforming familiar forms into something unexpected and inviting the viewer to look at their surroundings from a different perspective.
