Elidea is a contemporary artist, born in Milan and based in Miami.

Upon finishing her studies at the European Design Institute, she began working as a graphic designer with several studios in Milan as well as participating in a professional collaboration at the European Design Institute of Milan for a Music Discography Graphics Course. In 1998 she started working with Studio Predesign, a renowned Italian agency specialized in discography graphics that collaborates with recording studios like SonyMusic, WarnerMusic, EMI Music and some of the Italian and International leading singers like Laura Pausini. 

A fusion of her personal passion for contemporary art and photography with a graphic design background allows her to develop new expressive forms. 

Cutting, pasting, and overlaying allows her to create her unique vision; often surrealistic, full of stimulus, and coherent to her own taste.
Her art is a multilayer work with hidden details, her technique evolved from classic photos into a mixed media creations with the usage of paper, golden leaf, acrylic colors and pencil.
Each painting takes on a life of its own and Elidea always feels as though she is collaborating with the piece of art itself. She believes her work could only ever happen that exact way on that exact day and place, and never again.

European influence is one of the keys to understanding her works that embodies the spirit of masters such as the Italian artist Mimmo Rotella and the German artist Gustav Klimt.

2023 Collaboration with the prestigious jewelry company TIFFANY and Co . Her artwork, inspired by the breathtaking beauty of “El Yunque” national forest in Puerto Rico, is the exclusive centerpiece of their boutique store In Puerto Rico.

“A tribute to the enchanting “El Yunque National Forest”. During the process I aimed to capture the delicate dance of light, leaves, and shadow. “El Yunque”, a lush expanse of greenery, blankets the island’s eastern region of Puerto Rico.

Thank you to Mother Nature to always provided me infinite inspiration.“
