EPVS is born in Germany, lives and works in Rome.
After working in fashion design, Elena spent years also as a set and costume designer for theater and advertising across Europe.
For the past thirty years she has been working as a successful professional artist and her art and installations feature internationally in museums, public spaces and important private collections. Elena has also collaborated with public, commercial and charitable organizations, educational institutions, architects and other artists.
Elena's oeuvre is multifaceted and ever-evolving; she uses a variety of mediums ranging from traditional iron and Plexiglas to the more unusual balloons, water, sound and even plants. Works expand in scale from handheld to monumental sized sculptures or installations, land art, sound and video installations.
Elena is inspired by the contrasts and juxtapositions found in humans, nature and space; interactions between these elements are at the core of her works. Time and space are themes that mark the journey and evolution of her oeuvre. Participation between artist, viewer and art is fundamental to Elena.
