Ely B

I was born in Italy and grew up surrounded by creativity. My mother, who is a talented artist in Italy, was my first inspiration and introduced me to the world of art from a very young age. I later attended the School of Art at the Villa Reale in Monza, but my artistic journey has been largely self-taught, allowing me to develop my own intuitive style and personal approach to painting.

At the age of 21, I moved to London, a city whose constant movement and diversity continue to inspire me every day. I now paint from my small flat in central London, where the energy of the busy streets, the people, and the rhythm of the city naturally flow into my work.

I strongly believe in the invisible connections between people and the energy we share. Painting is my way of expressing that energy. When I paint, I translate my inner emotions onto the canvas — moments of feeling, intuition, and reflection.

My abstract work is driven by emotion and spontaneity. Each piece becomes a form of communication, a way for my inner world to connect with others. The energy of the city, the presence of people, and the emotions we carry within us all find their way into my paintings.
