Elena Chioccarelli was born in Rome in 1964. She has always practiced "plastic" painting, which includes many materials and techniques, acquired over several years of multidisciplinary training and experiences in the arts "of the hand ”, from fashion to the restoration of antique furniture and craftsmanship. A true alchemist in the field, she travels and settles in different places around the world, acquiring inspiration from local cultural practices that she now knows how to apply in a perfectly original synthesis. One might think that the artist dissolves in a relativity, a form of universal identity, and yet she does not, as her latest and ambitious series "Vita" attests, it is on the contrary in the very heart of herRoman roots that all her research is based on. Indeed, if like  Louise Bourgeois, she moves away geographically from her past, it is only to return to it, and to use it as an essential material for creation, in a surge of artistic resilience.
