Elena Mignani
📍 Roma, Italia
Elena speaks: English, Italian
Elena discovered the passion for drawing during her career, which began in high school, when she decided to attend the School of Art. She still did not know where this love would lead her. She continued her studies by attending the International School of Comics in Rome and subsequently a Master in Digital Illustration in Milan.
And that is when she found a new and original way of expressing art: through her tattoos.
Therefore she decides that she will not improvise, but will study again, attending the Tattoo and Piercing Course in Rome in 2011, which provided her with the basics of dermatology and hygiene, fundamental in this profession. She after moved to England to progress her career and then to Finland where she has the chance to cultivate her very own style.
Passionate about symbolism and fascinated by nature, Elena has created her unique style of Neotraditional by combining natural elements such as flowers, animals and plants with magical elements, symbols and objects, giving birth to creations full of magic and beauty.
