When I started trying to promote my own artwork online I kept coming across other people's art that amazed or compelled me in one way or another. This blog has been a way for me to practice thinking and writing about art, as well as learning more about my peers and all the incredible art that is being made out there.

Elia Mauceri

There is no information about the artist on her Flickr site. Most of the paintings are untitled. There is a photo of her (I assume it is of her) with a piece of fabric draped over her head and torso. On her profile page under hometown she has written Fanculo, which is italian for "Fuck off". Under profession: fancazzista. You get the idea. So.... I figure she's probably from Italy. The only other thing that I know is that her aggressive mixed media portraits are raw, immediate, and at there best, disturbingly powerful. She has only been posting since December 2008 but her work has evolved dramatically in barely over a year. It's an interesting and rather exciting progression. It would be nice to have a little more information on many of the pieces, sizes and materials, but regardless I'll be looking forward to seeing where she takes all this in the future.
