"If God really is perfection, then so are even these places imagined by Pulcini.
"The best of the IMPOSSIBLE worlds”, is what a painter must represent."

Vittorio Sgarbi#1 Art Critic in Italy

"The interpenetration of darkness and light, which makes her works so captivating, is the symbol of the artist's autobiographical story and cathartic path, which emerges from the darkness each time with a new determination and a new work."

Leonarda ZappullaHistorian and Art Critic

Vittorio Sgarbi

In those, which in my opinion are the most emblematic of Eleonora Pulcini’s paintings, I sense, like a latent doubt, a suspicion that our world might not be “the best of the possible worlds”, as Leibniz would quote. It is an imperfect world, the one that stopped Pulcini, Roman born, Australian adopted, to have an uninterrupted memory in relation to her life, faithful to those same places, same people and same emotions.
Leibniz had his religious beliefs to sustain his logic certainties: if God is perfection even the world he created must be so.
But what if Faith is not there to assist us, can we strive for perfection elsewhere?
Find it in those things that aren’t perfect, but could we still conceive them as if they were?
There is no need to change the cards entirely, Nature is already fascinating the way it appears to us and in Australia we can understand that better than anywhere else. But maybe it could be even more fascinating if we try to mutate some of its aspects in order to make it more plausible, now having consistency, which under normal circumstances would be highly unlikely.
Imagine skies where we could see not just the closer stars and planets but even the far away constellations, giving our eyes the abilities of powerful telescopes. Imagine a mythological bird soaring from the ocean’s water at sunset, nurtured by the fiery reds unloaded from the clouds down low. IMAGINE, this is the magic word.
Whether or not our world is perfect, our mind is capable of creating other, not less intriguing, worlds through Art.
Sceneries of infinite fantastic narratives in which every element speaks about itself without having to appeal (refer) to other things, much less to humans, a negligible influence not only in the events of the Universe, but also in the meanderings of Pulcini’s imagination.
A single presence in her paintings, her mind, which everything causes, and everything contains.
If God really is perfection, then so are even these places imagined by Pulcini.
“The best of the IMPOSSIBLE worlds”, is what a painter must represent.”

Leonarda Zappulla

Eleonora blends her sensitivity and innate talent to give life to her creations: wonderful oil canvases painted in wide perspectives with her fingers and palette knives, in which she impresses her own personality thanks to the use of strong and bright colours in harmonious contrasts.
What makes these works so emotional is the fact that the artist gives herself completely to them, drawing inspiration from her own memories and feelings, nostalgia and passions, giving them to us viewers in the form of an elegant and suggestive painting.
The interpenetration of darkness and light, which makes her works so captivating, is the symbol of the artist’s autobiographical story and cathartic path, which emerges from the darkness each time with a new determination and a new work.”

Maestro Mario Salvo

For several years I have been a careful researcher of artists in whom I can glimpse signs of genius and innovation, attesting to artistic skills. By viewing sites and works, I occasionally come across situations that are interesting for stylistic techniques and emotions that, in addition to giving depth, cheer up the soul of a fan of beautiful art, like me.
In the production of Eleonora Pulcini I glimpsed works of rare, almost unreal (surreal?), chromatic interpretation due to the superior stylistic and structural quality.
Her masterpieces are generated by a myriad of chromatic facets, impacting like the vision of a 3D screen, full of shades, shapes and colours, which release a celestial harmony and infinite vital energy enclosed in an armoured elegance with which Eleonora Pulcini faces her very personal dialogue with the interlocutors.
Those are canvases that offer spaces of pure creative and fairy-tale lyricism, oscillating between hidden dreams and intelligent lines, thoughtful, refined sunsets where sinuous and engaging trajectories lead to an extraordinary and fleeting dreamlike vision.
These are the result of dynamic perceptions and sensations that run through the fertile mind, touching the heart of the artist who has made art her point of plasma realization and her winning reaction force.
I had the honour of presenting EP in Area Contesa Arte gallery in via Margutta 90, and I immediately perceived that in front of me there was a fantastic character as her works gave the sensation of oxygenating explosiveness (visible by the attentive and expert soul) that pleasantly stimulates the global vision and triggers the search for the intrinsic one, through structured paths with fascinating panoramas.
Her work lives through a showcase, aware of being observed, admired, pampered.
Eleonora Pulcini has very solid roots that sink completely into the soul of her observers, adding that pinch of femininity and romance that dramatically enriches her personal psycho-artistic and moral background.
Sincere congratulations for your widely deserved artistic success. “

Gianpaolo Coronas

Eleonora Pulcini is a Roman artist who has been living and working for many years in Australia. Eleonora has made of art her profession, which she carries out with dedication and scrupulousness, a true manager of herself.
She follows every step with care, moves with attention to detail, ensuring that her artworks, her creatures, are adequately placed in prestigious environments and homes. A bursting, sophisticated, unusual chromatic language. Authentic feelings that can arouse strong emotions leak out from her works.
Real passion capable of provoking and expressing feelings, exchanges of emotions, joy and sometimes sadness shine through her paintings. Stories, memories and reminiscences intertwine, merge and find themselves on a canvas where they are welcomed by the attentive eye of the sensitive observer. Her works are compositions characterized by an extraordinary balance of natural and supernatural elements. Chromatic dances that revolve around landscapes that mostly reflect her inner world: paradigms of energy that seem to explore the limits of human vision, but also vibrant and pulsating images. An extraordinary, true, genuine artist with whom it is beautiful and easy to talk about art, talk about philosophy, but also about real life, despite her young age.
We have been working on this exhibition project for months and her precision and attitude to professionalism have encouraged me and the collaborators of "Terra Madre" the association of which I am the Artistic Director, to give the best of ourselves. What better location to host her works than the Provincial Campanian Museum of Capua? A place of prestige, where extremely important collections are kept, one of the few museums in the world that houses the unique ancient artifacts of the "Matres Matutae". The Capuan Museum is the right place where the works of Eleonora Pulcini can have prominence and adequate placement. I am sure that her artistic journey will be fulfilled with deserved success. My best wishes go to her for both her private and professional life. We must now admire her works, maybe buy one
of her paintings, and therefore a piece of her soul, resting assured that we will combine beauty with a safe investment.

Luigi Fusco

Art is something that is born instinctively in those who are destined to profess it for their entire existence. The realization of any artefact, be it pictorial, sculptural or other, represents the aulic moment of its creator, that of the maximum achievement of aesthetic perfection made " living matter" through the representation of "universal beauty".
And it is precisely from the surrounding world that the pictorial research of Eleonora Pulcini begins, through a close investigation of the data provided by her lived reality, from the everyday life seen through her eyes, eager to acquire as many images as possible for then transforming them into paintings.
Her pictorial theory it is founded on solid technical principles characterized by the close analysis of the infinite incidences of light, from all the possible color schemes to be adopted, to the chiaroscuro effects and extended perspectives. The depth of the sentiment expressed by the inspiring sources of her cultural dimension is manifested only, and exclusively, through her dreamlike landscapes, her imaginative subjects and her fantastic abstract and figurative
inventions. Each representation is accompanied by a chromatic vehemence distributed in a balanced manner that attracts for its extraordinary drafting.
Are discernible in her paintings, as well as from the titles attributed, references to specific inspirations that come from themes adduced by her literary, cinematographic, musical passions, but they may also have been borrowed from a mathematical principle, from a physical law, from a documentary, as well as from her dreams. Behind each of her works there is the fruit of a
sacrifice made up of studies and continuous tests carried out in the field. Regarding this, the experience of Eleonora Pulcini took place
outside the national borders: in Australia. Living elsewhere, she had the opportunity to carry out new experiences, contemporary in the
true sense of the word, which allowed her to reflect on the ideal of beauty and on her own feelings finding a way to "visually" express
them. The result was the conception of an exceptional
art, lively, intense, also luminous, but above all an
herald of a modern poetics whose hidden lyrical sense is to be found in the deepest "ego" of the painter itself.

Silvia Giovanardi

Eleonora Pulcini’s artistic poetics eviscerate lava flows of colour that outpour from the ground and spread in every corner of the world. The result is of great visual and conceptual impact, as well as capable of extracting it spectator from his artificial reality and catapult him in front of immense compact and powerful landscapes. The rebellious and stomping nature that Eleonora paints in her canvases communicates the unstoppable strength of one living and majestic land. In a roar the skies burst, scattering bright stars and distant galaxies within the deep blue of the celestial vault. The reds ignite the sunsets and the waves on which the sun casts hot reflections, while the gnarled trunks of ancient trees envelop themselves in a nocturnal dance of life. Through a dense and decisive brushstroke, Eleonora's pictorial research explodes into bright colours and a strong chromatic contrast that together light up the world enriched with details faithful to reality. Other times, instead, they break down the oil colours, laid out in bricks, thus abstracting the essence of the landscape. The alternation between realistic and abstract, almost fairy-tale, it leaves you suspended in a limbo that oscillates between the real and the imaginary. Are we walking in a dream or is it all true? The alive, bright, luminescent colours light up the skies, the streets and houses of Pompeii, the
moon reflected in the ocean waves and all the stars of Creation. The leaves do light up with reflections, the trunks absorb a thousand colours, and the
flowers are the masters in immense landscapes. The viewer's sensitivity is caught unprepared by the emergence of light from deep darkness, like lightnings that break through a starless night, and by the recurring chromatic contrast between blue-violet shades and the fiery red, almost vermilion, which unleashes a powerful energy, awakening sensations of vitality and vigor.
There is no shortage of tributes to the great painters: the painting “Eternity’s Gate”, a tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, in which we see him collecting his beloved sunflowers as he holds a little girl by the hand and directs her down a
path. The painter borrows the wavy paint strokes of the sky from the Dutch artist, but sets the scene in the expanded and energetic world that
characterizes her poetics. Eleonora is the creator of a cosmos that screams its own power, ready to swallow all the colours of which it holds. The threads of invisible analogies that bind man to nature are pulled one by one, moving the needle of the scale on a balance of ancestral energies. The large canvases thus embody a hymn coloured to celebrate the majesty of nature and a tacit
prayer of gratitude.

Flavia Sagnelli

Power. Power of colour, interpretative power, suggestive power. Eleonora Pulcini’s works excites and transports us in her vision of reality. The passion for painting burns like a fire in the artist and this fire is visible on the canvas both as an expressive force and as real flames that emerge from the wave and complete it, combining the vigour of the elements fire and water in a kaleidoscopic and dreamy new energy. Generosity in the use of colour, perfection in the use of shadows and perspective dimensions, poetry in the image and in the transport that it triggers. A joy for the eyes and the spirit.

Dottoressa IFF

How can you not smile in front of a work by Eleonora Pulcini … Each canvas is a lively explosion of pure colour, which takes the field with all its power, intensity, brilliance, light and contrasts.
Dense, spatulated, spreading like vortices generated by an uncontrollable, instinctive, profound impetus, the colour in its kaleidoscopic alternation and confusion visits the whole wide range of human emotions.
They are images that fill the eyes, create an exciting and moving visual impact that leads the mind to an intermittent exploration between the plane of reality and that of the irrational, the thought of getting lost between dream and reality, the heart to rummage in the vastness of the human pulse.
And “Smile!” … smile!, is the title of this work that invites you to smile not only with the extraordinary liveliness and boldness of the colour that extends with all its chromatic intensity, its body and material consistency, but also with a boundless, endless expanse of sunflowers, a symbolic expression of sunshine, cheerfulness and light-heartedness.
The composition can be read as a true hymn to joy, a joy understood as lightness of mind, as a sense of satisfying serenity, as lyricism of feelings. The thought is slowly welcomed in that swaying of the dark fronds of the tree moved by the wind in which the colours of the day at sunset reverberate, in those motions streaked and mixed with light and colour that draw the movement of the sky, in that same vision of a horizon that ignites and flares up on the field, accompanying the gaze to the first ground of sunflowers, large with their centres similar to soap bubbles and colourful stems.
Everything is depth and openness, and the work becomes much more than a dream image, it is a present and lively sensation, real and concrete.

“Paintings that emit emotional light, questioning the multiple chromatic vivacities, are the main protagonists of her works. Eleonora Pulcini is able to intertwine the ancient wisdom of colour with the reactive presence of dreamlike landscapes, obtaining completely commendable results.”
