Interview: Elena Brovelli
Luca Curci speaks with Elena Brovelli in May 2025, during a phase of full artistic and spiritual expansion, following her immersive performance Touch Her Soul, which made a lasting impact during Milan Design Week.

Elena Brovelli does not define herself as an artist. She prefers to be understood as a channel. Her practice did not arise from formal training, but from an inner calling – silent, transformative. Her textiles are not surfaces: they breathe. Each work becomes a portal, a sensory threshold where the viewer does not observe but crosses through. Not to interpret, but to feel. Born in Milan, she now lives between the lakes and the invisible dimensions. Her language is essential, ritualistic, and attuned. Her folds do not tell stories: they hold them. And those who encounter them rarely remain the same.

Luca Curci  – What are you currently working on?
Elena Brovelli  –  I’m working on deepening my connection with the universe. Through kundalini practices, the activation of the third eye, and family constellation work, I am now able to channel energies even more clearly through my hands and into my art. My current focus is on allowing each piece to become a space of resonance and support for those who approach it. My art is not separate from me – it is an extension of the energy I receive and the healing I wish to offer.

LC – What is the most challenging part about creating your artworks?
EB –  The real challenge lies in listening beyond the visible. Translating vibrations into form without disturbing their essence requires complete surrender. The textile guides me. My hands do not impose – they receive, they transcribe.

LC  – Has your style evolved over time? How?
EB  – I wouldn’t speak of “style” in the traditional sense. From the beginning, my work has emerged from a calling, a silent but powerful voice from beyond. However, my inner evolution has allowed me to refine how I receive and transmit that voice. Today, the energy I channel flows more freely. It speaks through textures, pauses, and folds. The music October by Adrián Berenguer was the initial spark, a sacred sound that revealed how to enter the All. Since then, my hands translate what words cannot.

LC  – Do your artworks express something in particular?
EB  – They don’t express, they transmit. They are spaces where the invisible becomes perceivable. My works are portals: they don’t ask to be understood, but to be felt. They invite the viewer to enter their own inner silence.

LC  – What message did the artworks convey in your immersive exhibition Touch Her Soul at the Design Week?
EB  – Touch Her Soul was not a simple exhibition; it was a living ritual, a sacred corridor of over 800 square meters where each viewer could rediscover a fragment of their universal Self. The space was orchestrated to lead from stillness to awakening. At the heart of this experience stood Elena | Opera Viva, a monumental portal of crimson velvet. It breathed, pulsed, and welcomed, not as an artwork, but as a sentient presence. It wasn’t about observing. It was about surrendering. The folds, the sounds, the light, everything was designed to resonate with those ready to feel. During the performance, I sat blindfolded, in a deep trance, guided only by vibration. As October played, my gestures called forth the energy of creation. What emerged was not choreography; it was invocation. Art was born, not as form, but as frequency. That moment of embrace, of silence and return, was the purest act of love: offering creation to the world, letting it live beyond me. Your art has entered into dialogue with very different realities – from foundations to fashion, galleries to international hotels. What does this expansion mean to you? Each collaboration is a shared energetic field. My art doesn’t simply seek exhibition spaces, but places where its vibration can act, transform, and contribute.

In certain moments, the encounter with iconic materials, such as those used in Porsche interiors, inspired works that celebrate elegance, motion, and sensory memory. With the De Marchi Foundation and the FIRA Foundation, art embraced its most profound role: becoming a vehicle of care, support, and research. The collaboration with Amedia Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham allowed this energy to flow into the world of hospitality: not just decoration, but a perceptive, immersive experience for each guest.

Exhibitions such as Le Ali della Libertà at Galleria Cael and Donne in Movimento at Spazio BIG have marked fundamental steps in my journey: moments when matter spoke of courage, rebirth, and the presence of those who move through the world in freedom. And today, the energy keeps flowing. Upcoming international exhibitions in Padua, Berlin, Innsbruck, Luxembourg, Paris, Dubai are not destinations, but waves. Waves of awareness, inclusion, and expanding love. In a world crossed by uncertainty, my art embraces the responsibility of investing positivity and sparking inner transformation. Each work is a small revolutionary act. An invitation to become better. Together.
