Elizabeth
Elizabeth, that’s how she calls herself. A name without a surname, but only representative. The artist believes that we find ourselves in a time where it’s easy to be exposed to have consent or not, causing pure art, strong in its story, to take second place. She therefore hid her identity with strong belief, so that her art can live on being self-sufficient, even in an era where haters and fans are active on all platforms.
Born in Italy, she studied fashion in Milan, where her creativity led her to combine fashion and art, two worlds that synergistically bring hands and mind to create for aesthetic and creative urgency.
Her artistic research has led to a preference for the use of candies: simple commercial sweets of common use, now becoming precious colored pieces as in a contemporary mosaic in a pop key, where the light slips into the recesses and cracks, accentuating their volume and three-dimensionality. By mixing techniques, materials and
genres she changes their function and exhorts us to see things in a new way. Reflection on the world around her and the importance of creativity are indeed fundamental parts of her life.
The themes she prefers to represent are vintage objects, past years icons, comics and topical cartoon scenes, and the use of candy is not a casual element. It is rather a conscious choice that can summarize the childlike part that lies in each of us, but that we often forget, with the intention of bringing back "sweet memories" that each of us jealously preserves.
“All my works are made with candies, the ones I have not eaten.”
