each of us is truly a breathtaking panorama: what would the world be like if we looked at each other with the same appreciation?
A Portrait of the Soul shows the inner aspect of a person and brings out the beauty of his or her diversity.
I am Emanuele “Renton” Fortunati, a spiritual and esoteric researcher: art is the laboratory where I carry out my experiments.
My aim is to reveal the connections between the spiritual and material worlds, because I believe that the essence of every Human Being is hidden right at the border between these two worlds.
What moves me is the idea that in each of us there exists a raw identity, free from social and cultural conditioning, and that if we expand our knowledge of ourselves and the reality around us enough, we can finally be free to embrace this true identity of ours. Our essence precisely.
And, thus, also be free to live according to our inclinations and create our own personal and unique life path.
Over the years I have realized that it takes 2 “steps” to find one's Essence.
The first step is to begin to disobey: abandon social rules and conditioning that prevent you from living according to your true nature.
The second step is to find your own Spiritual Identity: it is the only way you can really shine, and be a beacon for others around YOU as well.
Here it is: if my art revolves entirely around this second point, these pages, on the other hand, tell how I personally live both the spiritual quest and disobedience, with the idea that these shares can somehow come in handy for YOU and your Path as well.
Here you can find food for thought, texts that expand on my art projects and behind the scenes of my works and projects. And also a little (a lot) of healthy disobedience!

10 years of hard work, wiped out in 30 seconds: this is how my career as an abstract painter began
Since childhood we have been taught to live life without questioning anything.
And to blindly walk the path set before us.
Which is the easiest thing for sure.
But also the saddest.
Do I want to be the director of my life, or is it enough for me to play the part I am given?
Little story of how I became a disobedient (artist).
