Eleonora Valeri is a multifaceted artist specializing in sculpture and digital art. She began her training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara, where she studied sculpture, before honing her skills at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome with a focus on multimedia arts. Natural elements lie at the heart of her artistic practice, rooted in a profound connection to nature that has always defined her life. Valeri explores a wide range of techniques—spanning from sculpture to photography—and employs diverse materials, showing a particular preference for combining glass and wood. This combination is further enhanced through photography; the photograph serves to permanently capture the interplay between materials and light. Through the camera lens, the artist examines the relationship between nature and the environment, aiming to convey the vital importance of nature conservation and demonstrate how technology can effectively contribute to safeguarding the natural world. The harmony between humanity, nature, and innovation is revealed through the concept of "Digital Photodynamism," which also focuses on the rendering of movement and time. The viewer is transported into a new dimension rooted in archaeology, evoking a dialogue between past and present. Themes of beauty and protection permeate her work, where experimentation and technical skill blend harmoniously. Her pieces are held in public collections—including MACRO (Rome), the Corning Museum of Glass, and the Varini Foundation (Switzerland)—as well as in various public spaces.

Eleonora Valeri has also participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad. -Awards-
