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.
