Eliseo Pau produces pen drawings, photographs, videos and paintings to re-examine real life. In his art he employs a variety of media and cultivates a non-uniform practice.
Eliseo is primarily a painter. He paints a wide variety of subjects he gathers with his camera phone from daily activities: more or less banal everyday objects, portraits of historical figures from Sardinia, views of his adoptive town London, snapshots of friends and very often existing images from the internet are his starting point.
Eliseo recently has been working on videos regarding polluting testing activities in military bases in Sardinia. For these works he used found footage from the internet; long range missiles testing, practice war scenarios from the sea to the land, explode, burn and bury old weapons and dangerous chemicals. From these videos he extracts images to create his latest paintings, a series he calls Paradise Series.
