Elisa Rossi — Contemporary Art Curator Magazine

Biography

Elisa Rossi is an artist based in Los Angeles and uses different mediums (oil, acrylic, charcoal, pastels) to create artworks that fluctuate between figuration and abstraction.
Elisa was raised and born in Carpi, Italy, where she received formal classical piano training and art education since age 5.
She is guided by the symbiotic relationship between the subconscious mind and the artistic output. Carl G. Jung’s work ‘The Red Book’ deeply impacted her in approaching this area of research along with 'The Soul Code. In search of character and calling' written by James Hillman'.

Artist Statement

I paint because I must, I couldn’t conceive life without painting.
My creative process fluctuates between subconscious flow of images, dreamlike states and structured execution. There's a tango between what I let free to flow and what I consciously choose to represent and render. I am deeply fascinated by the shapes and figures that spontaneously emerge from the applied layers of mediums and I think that there are always precious messages behind these cryptic figures.
My intention is to let the observer shape his/her own dialogue with the artwork and experience it with the highest degree of freedom. I want to offer an experience, an occasion to connect with one's inner world, to share through artistic expression what is hard to explain otherwise.
This year 2020 has propelled the development of my artist’s message on how to alchemize pain, loss, into creative expression, appreciation for life and beauty.
#pain2power is the constant thread that I have found in the history and in the making of art, as from the deepest wounds of the individual and the collective seem to sprout the brightest gifts and expressions of the human heart.
