Eliseo was born in the Italian island of Sardinia, moved to Rome in his 20's for work where he begin to explore art on a self-taught mode making graffiti style paintings using spray cans and air brush. He afterward moved to London in 1995, took foundation studies and graduated for a BA Honours in 2008 at Central Saint Martins College of Arts, (University of the Arts London).
Eliseo approaches his art practice throughout video, photography, painting and drawing. His methodology mainly combines both the use of digital video and painting making time-base and 2D works to use in combination as installations or as single works. In the process he extracts stills images from the videos to produce paintings both on canvas or reclaimed wood. He gathers footage and images for his works mostly with his mobile camera as a starting point or as a main subject occasionally using found material from the internet through free downloads.
His art practice is presented in blocks of works he recall ‘series’ of which he explore themes about identity and the environment in connection to his homeland in Sardinia and his everyday activities in London.
