Elisa D'Urbano

Elisa D’Urbano was born in Tivoli, Rome’s province, and she works as an artist and a graphic designer since 2014. She attended a bachelor’s in painting at Rome University of Fine Arts. Her main interest was at first the figurative painting, the oniric representation of the human body, then developed in space-time representation, until the relationship between artificial and natural, virtual and real.
In 2016 the participation in the project “Chiba”, a collective whose she is co-founder and co-art-director, brings her close to the cyberpunk culture, starting a reflection on the technological “progress” on perception and imagination and the role of the network culture. In these years of experimentation, she learns 3D modeling and digital graphics, trying to insert these digital elements in her painting creations. After her graduation, she starts working mainly as a graphic designer, although continuing to produce painting artworks. In 2018 she moves to Tanger, Morocco, where she collaborated as an anatomic drawing teacher in the Dante Alighieri Institute and starts to explore the artistic discipline of tattooing.
Currently, she works as a co-founder tattoo artist in Tanger Tattoo studio and as a painter between Rome and Tanger.
