Through art I explore the connections between the spiritual and material worlds: I believe that the essence of every Human Being is hidden at the edge between these two worlds.
As a pioneer of Spiritual Expressionism, my work explores the connections between the spiritual and material worlds.
For me, everything that manifests in physical reality in fact has a direct connection to events and energies on the spiritual plane:
my art is an investigation that aims to reveal these connections and to understand their meaning, giving greater meaning to the reality around us and to us as part of it.
Projects
My creative process is divided into two distinct phases: the raw, uninhibited creation in a trance state, in which spiritual energies flow through me, and the subsequent rational interpretation, which decodes these experiences and the symbols embedded in my works.
It is through this duality that consciousness expands: artistic practice thus becomes a spiritual practice, allowing one to move beyond social and cultural conditioning to expand one's view of reality and identity.
And for the viewer, too, my work offers a similar dual experience.
While the symbols in my works touch the chords of the unconscious and create an energetic connection with the viewer, my rational interpretation is an invitation to reflect on one's perception of reality and to explore spiritual themes such as personal identity and society's influences on it.
If my works have resonated within you and you would like to explore collaborations or acquisitions, write me and I will be happy to contact you as soon as possible.
About
Emanuele “Renton” Fortunati is the founder and pioneer of Spiritual Expressionism, an art movement that explores the connections between the spiritual and material worlds.
His work, which shares with traditional expressionism a raw and unfiltered expressiveness, is characterized by spontaneous and instinctive gestures, and enriched by a deep spiritual involvement.
Inspired by the ancient practices of shamans, Emanuele creates his works in a trance-like state, where he channels the spiritual energies that flow through him and dialogues with them, bringing back these conversations in the form of esoteric symbols, a true spiritual alphabet that characterizes the artist's production.
His creative process is divided into two distinct phases: the raw, uninhibited creation, in which spiritual energies flow through him, and the subsequent rational interpretation, which decodes these experiences and the symbols embedded in his works.
It is thanks to this duality that the artist can gain a deeper understanding of himself and of reality: artistic practice thus becomes a mystical experience, allowing him to free himself from social and cultural conditioning, and to rediscover a more authentic individual identity.
Through his works, whose symbols touch the chords of the unconscious and create an energetic connection with the viewer, Emanuele shares with viewers this journey in search of an unfiltered identity, and invites them to challenge their perceptions in order to expand their understanding of who they really are.
Part of the international catalog Alfabeto Astratto, several of Emanuele's works are exhibited at the Palazzo dell'Emiciclo in L'Aquila, the Museo Bellini in Florence, and the AAIEE Gallery Center in Rome, alongside artists of international scope such as Alfred 'Milot' Mirashi and under the artistic direction of Miguel Gomez, artistic director of the Bibart Biennale D'Arte.
