Ella Mätik was an Estonian graphic artist.
Ella Mätik was born in 1904 in Vruda, where her parents had emigrated from Jõgeva parish a few years earlier and kept a tenant farm. In 1913 the Mätik family settled near Narva, from where Ella was sent to live with her aunt in Haapsalu in 1916. In 1919-1926, she received her general education in Haapsalu at the Läänemaa Common Gymnasium, a humanitarian school.
Mätiku's first steps in art were taken while she was studying at the gymnasium. For a while, Mätik took private lessons from Ella Kingo-Espenberg. In 1926, Mätik entered the art school in Pallas, and in 1927 he was transferred to Ado Vabbe's painting studio. In the spring of 1930, Mätik was forced to temporarily interrupt his studies in Pallas. Having at the same time passed the examinations of the preparatory course for drawing teachers in Pallas, Mätik worked for a year as a drawing teacher at the Haapsalu Gymnasium. He continued his studies in 1932, and by then he had already devoted himself to the study of graphic art.
Mätik graduated from Pallas in 1939 with a 'good' grade in graphic art, having submitted 35 works of various techniques to the commission.
After graduating from art school, Mätik took up a post as a drawing teacher at the Tartu Commercial Gymnasium in 1940 and worked as a freelance artist from 1941 until his death from heart disease in 1943.
From 1943 until 1943, he was a member of the Mätik Artists' Association. He participated in exhibitions, including the 1939 Women Artists' Exhibition. Mätik was also represented at foreign exhibitions of Estonian art in Budapest in 1938 and in Rome in 1939. Mätik's first commemorative exhibition was held at the Tartu State Art Museum in 1958.
