ELENA CATERINA DORIA

Elena Caterina Doria was born in Milan, Italy on February 10th, 1965, after graduating from artistic high school, she enrolls in NABA (New Academy of Fine Arts) to attend painting, engraving, artistic anatomy, graphic design, and visual communication. In 2017 she moved to Cella Monte, a place surrounded by the Monferrato hills, a UNESCO heritage site where she still lives and works as a designer and visual artist. After many years of working as a digital artist, she grew the need to take a step back and express herself with a more manual and physical approach. Thus, she returned to experience the mellowness of colors, the leap into the unknown given by the manual drawing process, nibs, Indian ink, pens, paint brushes, rough papers, wood, pyrography, etching, and gold leaves. Her art is mostly inspired by natural elements whose rules she changes in an unexpected way. Intrigued by its mixture of details, nature as Elena depicts it is one of wonder, transformation, contamination, and life that evolves while changing shape. The curatorial approach to exhibitions becomes a new role that enables her to transfer her artistic sensibility and communication skills to bring works, artists, and audiences into dialogue.
