Elio was born in 1964 in Udine, north-east Italy. He got a degree in computer science at the University of Udine and still works in this field, for a large italian company. However, he never abandoned his passion for art, which at some point of his life became an imperative calling, finding in the Internet's artistic community a fertile environment for his developing.

"I am an artist who is reluctant to place himself within the limitations of a single stylistic tendency, as surrealism could be considered. As post-modern artists, quite detached from the historical and hysterical vicissitudes of all those avant-garde waves, we can afford to play with different styles of expression (as part of "contemporary language") in the same way we use different materials or media, that is without relying on outdated, when not demagogic or instrumental, ideologies. This does not necessarily imply an ironic, tired and superficial attitude: art remains a serious thing because it has ultimately to do with the meaning of life. Rather, it recognizes that each life is a serious issue, not only those of the few that power dictates to enter in the "grand narratives" of art. Said that, I feel myself especially linked to surrealism by the fascination for dreams, for the revelatory power of the hallucinatory visions you can continue to project on the old spotted Leonardo’s wall".
