Elena Angelini
Elena Angelini (b. Rome, Italy) is a painter based in London. She recently graduated with a BA from Camberwell College of Arts, where she developed a distinct visual language characterized by muted colours and a nervous pencil line that remains evident throughout her practice.
Angelini’s paintings depict symbolic scenarios and unresolved narratives, where faded objects and figures emerge from misty, undefined backgrounds. The lack of completion within her canvases guides the viewer’s focus to the figures themselves, whose postures, glances, and expressions convey a quiet struggle to overcome melancholia.
Her work explores the tension between the individual and the outer world, capturing an unspoken turmoil within the grey space between naïve play and mundane consciousne.
