The artist employs a highly detailed, almost textural approach, evident in the intricate renderings of the various marine elements.

Eliot Greenwald’s work encompasses painting, sculpture, and assemblage, and draws inspiration from an eclectic range of sources, including natural phenomena, pseudoscience, prehistoric narratives, theoretical physics, and popular media. By combining acrylic paint and oil stick, Greenwald creates vivid, tactile compositions that aim to evoke synesthetic experiences by saturating his paintings with intense colors and impasto surfaces. His freestanding sculptures incorporate found objects and studio debris, either painted in bright colors or left in their natural state, which blurs the lines between artifice and nature. Although Greenwald's work explores both ancient and sci-fi futurist registers, his playful approach and formal strategies defy easy classification.
