Prof. Enza Biuso wrote about her at the presentation of her latest personal exhibition “Sentieri di luce”:

When I met Dr. Elisa Marianini a few days ago, I was fascinated and subjugated by the painter - art historian - restorer.

You are a beautiful person of profound culture and particular human, moral and spiritual depth.

Immediate approach, friendly and serene.

Mind thirsty for knowledge that focuses its attention on everything that comes before it: a woman who investigates to find herself and broaden her range of action, chasing the beauty and values of life - how to help others - becomes aware of himself and the need to reveal the greatness of God.

Elisa Marianini tells her story through her creations of the soul which testify to the new successful work which favors the search for one's own being, for an emotional, moral and spiritual center of gravity. Her pictorial poetics veers, therefore, towards the acquisition of a personal originality and, as she digs decisively into her interiority, a message or a new philosophy of life makes its way. The studio then becomes an internal garden and the technique is also transformed. She put aside that classical art, absorbed from an early age and completely assimilated - but revisited in a personal key - by the collaboration with her father Foresto Marianini, painter-decorator and restorer. [….]

Elisa Marianini the painter no longer "copies" from reality or rather she shapes the real physicality that serves as a never-interrupted bond with the earth and sets the dynamics of an iridescent palette on fire with a vast range of timbres, brilliant and bright colors that enhance thought and manual skills with spontaneity and inspiration, exploring the countless expressive possibilities of today's art. Sound, airy architectures that are never predictable, at times ethereal, are enhanced by the choice of themes and the use of material. The narrative rigor and freshness of this new way of proceeding consecrate her as a complete artist. [….] She prepares the colors, experiments with new techniques and works according to Michelangelo's imperative "she paints with her brain, not with her hands!". Her art is therefore "the art of the brain", of reflection, performed, of course, with the hands but perceived with the mind and the heart. In constant analysis, she never silences her internal dialogue. Thus the pictorial story expands with freedom of having intercepted the essence of living and dying, that dimension of the soul and bodies that is located outside of space and time.
