I don't decide what a piece means.
I only find out once it's already finished.

Emanuele Fortunati painting in his studio

The artist

I'm Emanuele Fortunati, a conceptual artist based in Spain.

My research is about identity and incoherence: the distance between who we are and who we're asked to be. I observe it, take it apart, and translate it into symbols on canvas.

The work doesn't start as a print, an original, or a commission. It starts the same way, every time.


What it becomes next, for your space, for a practice, for a project, depends on who it's for.
