About Elisabetta Duminuco

I was born in Venice where I live and work and where I studied and got my professional skills. I starded my artistic carrer working in theatrical and scenographic activities,such as: Elaborates exposition of scenography and costumes for the play "the bedbug", by Vladimir Majyakovsky, at the Bevilacqua La Masa Gallery in Venice; The design and realization of sets and costumes of the play written by the German '700 playwright Heinrich von Kleist "The pomegranate dream" for the theatre company "body and mind"; Design of sketches and costumes for Mozart's opera " Die Zauberflöte"; Since 2003 I have worked as Art Teacher in a project for "social rehabilitation laboratory activities for people with mental disabilities" in mental health hospitals and rehabilitation centres. I like to paint with oil colors or egg tempera on canvas or wood panel. What I prefer is a mixed technique with oil colors, glass colors, acrylic colors, gold, silver, bronze and copper leaf, metal foils and inks often on wood panel. I have exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Italy and in Europe.
