Elara Floral Painter

Elara* is a portfolio template for painters and visual artists, built so the work is always the loudest thing on the page. Large type, generous space and a calm grid leave the paintings to bring the colour.

The hero opens with a strip of artworks: hover one and it grows, with its title and story beside it. The About statement turns from grey to red to black as you scroll, while thin vines with small roses grow out of its words.

Artworks and Exhibitions live in the CMS. Every painting gets its own page with details, enquiry buttons and the next work. Exhibitions sort themselves into Now on view, Upcoming and Past, and each row reveals its image on hover.
