About Elena Vittoria Bevilacqua

I am an Italian artist based in London, working at the intersection of art, science, and spirituality.

Drawing from quantum physics, biology, psychology, and ancient spiritual traditions, my practice serves as a visual meditation on the connections between inner and outer, visible and invisible, conscious and unconscious, physical and spiritual, natural and artificial, living and non-living. Everything and everyone is entangled in the cosmos.

In my artwork, this interconnectedness is visually expressed through branching patterns, and the natural and artificial elements merge into a symbolic language that bridges figuration and abstraction.

I work with both traditional and digital mediums, sometimes blending them together, while continually refining and learning new techniques.

The word "Ka," found in my signature and rooted in ancient Egyptian and Indian spiritual traditions, is the first word I pronounced, naming the light; it is my mantra, and symbolises the human-divine creative force.
