Elena was born in 1992 in Rome, a city that strongly influenced her artistic production. Her parents had a key role in her education, teaching her the beauty of design and architecture, how to recognize textures and sophistication in fashion, how to feel and interpret art. Elena grew up inspired and start a self-thought process toward the painter she is today.
The first exhibition comes in 2014, at the "Emerging Artist expo" of Vercelli, a small city in the North of Italy. In the same year, she gets selected at the "Passion Art" in Barcellona, where Ada Art Gallery chose her work “Symphony of the Dephts”.
When she is 18, she starts attending the School of Architecture at the Politecnico of Milan, where she earnes a Master Degree 6 years later, in 2018. Being a commuter she founds herself on the train at any hour of day and night, 3 hours a day, experiencing and getting to know the diversity of humanity and the shades of their stories. Those hours of observation left here a baggage of stories that she still uses today.
After being part of numerous group exhibitions, she starts to paint after years of illustration, in 2017. Working at the same time, she paints usually late at night and during weekends, practice she still follows nowadays.
In 2017 she moves back to her natal city, Rome, where she lives with her grandmother, who helps her out as an art assistant. The grandmother gratly ifluenced her style, that evolves in a more mature approach, and expression of the traumatic experiences women had, and continue having nowadays.
While researching, she starts to visit monthly Paris, where she found out a darker side of her art. Generational traumas and a worsening depression drive her to a point where she feels painting is the only way out.
A couple of years later, called by the necessity of discovering new shades to her work, she moves to London, in 2019, taking on as art curator at Omnide, a small gallery projetc driven by two architects, where she works as architect as well. She uses any extra time to connect and discover new artists in West Hampstead, creating soon a community of creatives and design passionates. In 2020 she exhibits again, at Hoxton Art Project, during covid period, and in 2022 she is called to be part of a group exhibition in Barcelona, at the central gallery Art 23, that invites her to dispay her works again, in Rome, in 2023.
Her internal research goes on and she starts a new style, where she feels the need to go bigger and analyse mental health conditions along with traumas. She evolves her style to a more abstract way that she is still exploring nowadays.
