Each Ellamadonna work is unique and infused with her unique artistic and emotional expression. Expertly crafted using the finest fluid paint techniques, each piece speaks of a dynamic emotion made immortal on the canvas. The colors are poured one by one and applied with tarot cards (made in Naples) until the entire area of the canvas is filled. Ellamadonna’s signature technique allows her to have full control of the acrylic. Subsequently, each shade is set in motion creating a dialogue through different procedures such as swiping, using brushes or her fingers. Finally, the art is layered with a gloss, thus giving the painting an ethereal and enchanting aquatic effect.
