Art is my way of crossing the boundary between spirit and matter.
It is there that our most authentic identity lies hidden: wild, free, forgotten.

Each work arises from a raw gesture, guided by a state of trance:

the body moves, symbols emerge, energy takes shape.

Then comes the mind, seeking meaning in the signs:

a duality between ritual and interpretation that liberates energetic identity and makes it visible.

My paintings are not to be understood, but to be felt.

They do not impose themselves: they enter into dialogue. With space. With those who look at them. With what seeks freedom within us.

Did you feel anything? Write to me.

If a work touched you or resonated with you in a way you can't explain,
we can talk about it.

Emanuele “Renton” Fortunati is the founder of Spiritual Expressionism and a pioneer of Energy Resonant Art, a form of artistic research born from direct contact with the invisible world and manifested through raw gesture and spontaneous symbols.

Spiritual Expressionism is the transformative ritual.
Energy Resonant Art is what remains: the work that preserves the energetic residue of that act.

Fortunati’s paintings are created in a trance state. The body moves autonomously, symbols emerge without premeditation. His raw gestures act as a bridge between the energetic world and what can be seen and touched.

What remains on the canvas is a ritual—alive, raw, and necessary.

Only afterward does the mind enter the process—not to create, but to interpret: decoding the symbols and tracing their meaning along a lineage marked by artists such as Hilma af Klint and Wassily Kandinsky.

Yet liberation does not occur in interpretation, but in the gesture itself.

Fortunati does not paint to express himself, but to free himself—from roles, masks, and imposed forms.

His work does not ask to be understood, but to be felt. Each piece enters into a deep dialogue with space, with the viewer, and with that part of each of us still seeking freedom beneath the mask.

Included in the international catalogue Alfabeto Astratto 2024, Fortunati’s works have been exhibited at Palazzo dell’Emiciclo (L’Aquila), Museo Bellini (Florence), and AAIEE Gallery Center (Rome), alongside internationally recognized artists such as Alfred “Milot” Mirashi, under the artistic direction of Miguel Gomez, curator and artistic director of the Bibart Biennale.

Selected works have also been transformed into artist-designed silk scarves, worn at Milan Fashion Week 2025 and the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
