About her
Elisa Fenoglio
Italian artist, living in Turin. She graduated from "Accademia Albertina" Fine Arts University of Turin, Italy, in 1997, specialising in Scenography and Costume. Her entrance into the italian arts world was immediate and important experience was gained in theatre, television and the cinema alongside some of the greatest directors and costume designers. She has worked for the Greek Theatre of Syracuse, the Theatre in Taormina, for the RAI Centre for Production of Turin and for Mediaset. Over the past 17 years she has dedicated her time to drawing (she especially loves making portraits in pencil and mix media), participating in prestigious exhibitions in Italy, Germany, Czech Republic and in USA (Chicago and Miami). Another of her great love is for costume, antique clothing from past epochs which offer themeselves to dolls in 1:12 miniature scale or OOAK sculptures which reconcile the passion she has in shaping and creating small human figures with the ability to create miniature clothes, where the choice of materials and the combination of colours are critical to the success of a good composition.
Her goals in this world are 8 Golden Awards of Professional Doll Makers Art Guild, 2 Dabida awards, 4 Colliii awards, 4 winning IADR contests and 2 Gaudir prizes. She is proud Master Member of Professional Doll Makers Art Guild, Master Member of UNIDIA and Igma Artisan. Versatile and curious, over the years she has dedicated her time to teaching, scolastic publishing (through both illustrations and correction and revision of textbooks published by Pearson Italy). Since three years she works as an iconographic researcher for Pearson Italy. Since 2010 she crafts the look and feel of the italian annual Miniature Show “Miniaturitalia” through the creation of posters, advertisement posters and banners. She also dedicated herself to the design of trademarks and logos of several companies and has patented some designs that have become lines of jewellery, both precious and fashion, and clothing (Svirgolini).
