Eleonora Rossi born in Milan in 1976, lives and works in Milan. She teaches art at High School. Founder of @visionievisionari. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brera and Carrara and began working in Milan taking part in group and solo exhibitions. After a long period dedicated exclusively to painting, she approached photography and video exploring relationships in their many declensions, under the banner of instability and the uncertainty of contemporary living. At the moment she expanded her research using other media like Design and Illustration. She teaches Painting in High School in Milano and started to lead workshops on crative thinking entitled “Visions”. (some more info about Video cv at the bottom of the page). She’s now working with Kyroartgallery.com
