Artist
Figurative portraits with mood, elegance and restraint.
Elena Aureli has 28 works in the ArtMarket gallery, working in mixed media, figurative painting and fine-art print. The recurring themes are portraiture and monochrome. Each piece is a limited edition of 25, hand-signed by the artist and supplied with a certificate of authenticity. Prints start at €145.
Elena Aureli is a figurative artist interested in the moment just before a person speaks. The practice combines painterly marks with photographic reference, often reducing a portrait to a few decisive shapes, gestures and tonal contrasts, and returning to the same image until the expression reads less like a pose and more like a private thought.
Hers is the largest body of work in the gallery, moving between monochrome studies, warm portraits and animal figures — from Portrait of Strength to The Smoker's Contemplation — all held together by a restrained, cinematic atmosphere.
Why this artist is here
The gallery selected this artist for the emotional clarity of the portraits. The figures feel observed rather than posed, and colour, smoke, gesture and negative space are used to suggest a story without ever explaining it.
Reading the work
Notes on the work, written by the gallery team at ArtMarket.
The strongest pieces here land on the moment a face stops performing. Notice how little information the image needs to get there — a turned jaw, a lowered eye, one lit edge — and how much of the expression is carried by what has been left unresolved.
These read as film frames. Light falls from somewhere specific, the silence around the figure is composed as deliberately as the figure itself, and something always seems to be happening just outside the edge of the sheet.
Portraiture at this scale rewards a wall you pass rather than one you sit facing. The small imperfections — a smudged contour, a mark deliberately left in — become more personal the longer the print is up.
The portfolio
Limited editions
Every artwork by this artist belongs to a limited edition of 25 prints, and no more are made. The artist signs each print by hand, a certificate of authenticity travels with it, and once an edition is complete the artwork is not reprinted in that format. The counter on each product page shows the real number sold.
Before you buy
There are 28 artworks by Elena Aureli in the ArtMarket gallery, and every one of them is on this page. Each belongs to a limited edition of 25 prints, so availability is finite: when an edition sells out, the artwork is not reprinted in that format.
Yes. Elena Aureli signs every print by hand, usually on the reverse so the signature does not sit inside the image. Nothing in the catalogue is machine-signed, stamped with a facsimile, or sold unsigned, and a certificate of authenticity recording the edition number travels with each print.
Prints by Elena Aureli start at €145. The price depends on the printed format rather than on the image, so any artwork of the same size costs the same. Prints ship unframed, rolled inside a rigid tube.
Yes, and it is the easiest way to build a wall that holds together. Prints by a single artist already share a palette, a printing process and a way of framing a subject, so two or three of them hang as a group without the deliberate matching that artworks by different artists need.
