We recently connected with Eleonora Desole and have shared our conversation below.

Eleonora, appreciate you joining us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

Creating has always been a necessity without me realizing it. For me, living every day and looking at the world inevitably creates a situation of inspiration or reflection. Maybe talking to people who have the same needs as me has made me realize what I want to do in life.

Eleonora, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My artistic research began with painting, I have always preferred natural subjects such as animals, marvelous in their shape and in the quantity of meanings they can hide. It preserves a gestural and dense painting, an attempt to tell the direction of my gesture but also the feeling of the moment in which I act. Over time I have felt and accepted the need to expand my language in space to create dimensions that specifically affect the viewer.
The use of natural materials within my installations comes from the need to resume human reflection on nature, returning, , in a conceptual mode, to the connection with the environment.
From a suggestion, a thought, a feeling, I build a situation that talks about it.
The multimedia medium attempts to amplify the natural element, acts as a support in a parallel way to strike
in a more direct way the senses, emotions and impressions of the user.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

No, I don’t have a goal. When I finish a work I experience very different emotions, especially if through the work I try to exorcise a concept or try to let go of an emotion and make it flow within the installation.
What leads me to continuous creation is a constant curiosity for what will come out, to understand what I am made of.
I don’t determine a beginning or an end to something.

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

Of course yes, it’s wonderful because the arts can continually intertwine and potentially always give life to something new. It is then impossible not to look at cinematographic, literary and musical production. As an artist, I read a lot of art non-fiction because I believe it is fundamentally important to read those who think about artistic practices, from criticism to the artist himself.
There are several texts by 20th century but also contemporary artists that made me understand how the human being is actually one but manifests itself in different forms.
