ELENA VOLONGO
I am Elena Volongo, known as Elealtratto or "The Ri_bellula." I work as an illustrator and visual designer, specializing in multimedia educational projects. For over 10 years, I have collaborated with ED, participating in numerous national and international projects. One of the projects I am most connected to is "Mila FILM," nominated for the Academy Awards for animation in 2022.
In 2021, I ranked among the top 10 at the Marinedì International Illustration Award of Spazio Mec with the illustration "Itaca è il viaggio." In 2024, I was selected for publication in the Annual Illustrators of the Italian association "Autori d'immagini." After completing a scientific training, I pursued my artistic journey at the Academy of Fine Arts, where I became a visual artist. Subsequently, I attended a master's program in techniques for art therapy and music therapy.
My art focuses on exploring forms and colors to tell stories, particularly through the project "RitrattƏ," dedicated to the stories of women who have marked the history of certain places. I also curate "illustrated words," visual concepts that stimulate new perspectives. I love organizing exhibitions, creating custom illustrations through live sketching, and guiding people in discovering their creative side through art and music. My motto is: "Creativity brings light even where it is not seen."
Currently, I am excited to participate in a project aimed at transforming art into something tangible and wearable. By creating a collection of unique t-shirts, I can share my work and stories with the world in a completely new way, making art accessible and close to people in their daily lives.
