Elisa Rossi is an artist based in Los Angeles and works with dierent mediums to create expressive artworks that fluctuate between figurative and abstract. Her style articulates elements of historic figures, faces and has reflective images with dreamlike characteristics. In her paintings she explores the symbiotic relationship between the subconscious mind and the artistic output. She uses her artistic visions to deepen her inner investigation and has developed a peculiar, original visual language that evokes dreamlike, metaphysical worlds, childlike strokes combined with exploration of the human body, natural elements and sensual themes.

Alchemizing polarities, archetypes and music are essential in her creative process.
