Your Soul speaks to you with symbols:
if you want to live in line with your Soul, you must learn to decipher them.
But-what does it mean to live in line with your Soul? Why is it so important?
Well: it means to stop going against your nature.
And to definitely live more peacefully. Which for me, who is anxious by nature, is already a lot of stuff.
But I have to admit: living in alignment with your Soul is also much but much more than that.
It is discovering yourself and finding yourself every day.
It is always feeling in the right place at the right time.
It is knowing exactly why you are here on Earth: goodbye lack of clarity 😉
Knowing that you have a Mission and that by carrying it out your heart will burst with joy is breathtaking!
So for me to live in alignment with my Soul is fundamental.
The problem is that to live in alignment with one's Soul one must learn to listen to it.
Or rather: to read it, because the Soul is best found communicating creatively and symbolically.
And there are 1,000 ways to learn to read the symbols of the Soul, but for me the most powerful and easiest to use is art.
If you get it out of your mind that you have to do something aesthetically beautiful.
If you get it out of your head that you have to do something with meaning....
If you get it out of your head that art is only for artists....
That's when the magic happens:
One enters a space of Total Silence, where it is the creative flow that guides our hands.
And, thus, it is precisely our hands that become the brush of the Soul, which writes its message for us on the canvas.
If you look at the painting in the picture you will notice strange symbols: there, those are indeed the alphabet of the Soul.
The symbols, their location, their color, the geometries--all together is what the Soul is trying to communicate.
Or rather: what it actually communicates, which I then have to learn to decipher.
For me, or for the person who has asked me for a Soul Reading (as with the work in the picture).
So that one can find comfort in a dark moment, or direction in a moment of bewilderment, or joy in a moment of weariness.
And message after message, one finally finds oneself on one's own track.
Immersed in one's uniqueness, living a life totally free and in line with one's Purpose.
Challenge the ordinary, embrace the unusual. Always.

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!
