About Elena
Qualifications:
- BA Fine Arts, Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna, Italy
- GD Fine Arts, Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London
- MA Art and Science, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London
- Certificate in Creative Health and Wellbeing through Artmaking, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London
I am an Italian visual artist and creative wellbeing workshops director at BE KA Art Studio, originally from Bologna and now based in London. Passionate about creativity from an early age, I studied Fine Arts and Sciences as a teenager before going on to earn first-class degrees, including a BA in Painting and Photography from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna — where I also worked as an assistant to a professor on the etching course — a Graduate Diploma in Fine Arts from Chelsea College of Arts, and a Master's in Art and Science from Central Saint Martins (UAL). I am also certified in Creative Health and Wellbeing through Artmaking at Central Saint Martins.
Other universities (e.g. RCA and City & Guilds) also accepted my portfolio and offered me a place for their courses.
My background is as layered as my practice — I have worked as a photographer, artist, graphic designer, Fine Art restorer, and gallery assistant, exhibited my artwork in Bologna, Venice, Milan, and London, and previously trained as a Hatha yoga teacher and Reiki practitioner. These experiences all shape my warm, holistic approach to art and teaching. I hold an Enhanced DBS check and teach on platforms including Tutorful and MyTutor.

I can help you with techniques, planning and making a project, portfolio, photographing your work, health and safety, presenting and exhibiting your work. I will also encourage you to look at some artists, styles, and art history.
I use two cameras for the online lessons (on Zoom only) so you can see what I do and better understand the process. I also use slides and videos, depending on your needs. I focus on environmentally friendly techniques and procedures.
Classes & Workshops at BE KA Art Studio
BE KA Art Studio is a creative space where art, nature, wellbeing and human connection converge.
Located in my riverside atelier at Trinity Buoy Wharf in E14 — moments from Canary Wharf — the studio offers in-person and online classes and workshops where you can explore your creativity and connect with others in a welcoming, relaxed environment.
Classes and workshops are deeply rooted in health and wellbeing through artmaking, human connection and nature. Open to all, regardless of experience or background, I have taught students and professionals of all ages and nationalities, in one-to-one and group settings, both online and in person. Workshops are designed to be as accessible, allergy-friendly and environmentally sustainable as possible.
My approach is friendly, relaxed and playful, encouraging you to connect with materials, with others, and with yourself.
Creative practices do more than inspire — they heal. They reduce stress hormones, calm the nervous system, ease physical tension and pain, and support emotional balance. In creative flow, the brain enters a meditative state, bringing clarity and relaxation.
Art helps you slow down, reconnect, and feel grounded.
It’s not about the result — it’s about the experience.
Creativity is medicine.
