Elisa Fenoglio
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 four 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).
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 Greek 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.
Pieces in show
Nostalgia for childhood - piece n. 105
The doll is 21 cm height, 15 cm width and 14 cm depth. The display is about 30 cm of diameter.
The doll is completely made by me. The toys were bought by 1:12 artisans at miniature shows. The display was made by Ciro Pernice.
The doll is modeled in polymerclay. The hair is in curled tibetan lamb and the dress is in silk, antique lace and silk ribbons. The roses on the hat were made by Carol Wagner.
This work wants to represent with nostalgia the moment of farewell to the world of childhood and the time of toys.
The girl here has grown up but she is still together with her favorite toys perhaps for one of the last times.
"Romantic Spring" - piece n° 106
Polymerclay sculpture 36 cm high including the base and 25 cm high only the figure.
The inspiration that moved me was a series of photos I saw on the Internet. That set was really wonderful and gave me goose bumps because of the romanticism of the scene. Spring, flowers, pastel colours... I really fell in love and wanted to interpret this theme in a positive way, because goose bumps can also come from strong, positive emotions that immerse us in an ideal world of beauty and love.

Work made with Patrizia Cozzo for to celebrate 10 years of Dabida

The files prepared for printing consisted of a collage of a work for each member of the Dabida association which celebrated 10 years of life. This work won the first prize in the competition organized by Dabida that year to celebrate the tenth birthday. The theme was "Party" and the two friends, the first made by Elisa Fenoglio and the second by Patrizia Cozzo, are at a party, happy, and their position forms the number 10.

My tribute for Dabida 10 years celebration. The lady represents the church where the exhibition took place on the occasion of Dabida's 10th anniversary.

The skirt is in silk printed with files prepared by me. 1 work is represented for each Dabida member. The number one is made from Caroline van Stiphout and the number zero is made from Saskia Hoeboer-Giesen.
