Graduating in Fashion Design at Florence University, Italy, Elena Murgia began working with ceramics in London in 2013 and relocated to Sydney in 2017 where her practice is primarily in bronze and marble.

Her sculptures are psychological portraits, inviting the viewer’s own intimate interpretation.

Elena sums it up: “My interest is the human - more often the female - psychology related to its necessity to be beautiful, but also to escape from the shackle of women’s representation seen through a male gaze”.
