Emans91

Emans91 is the artistic name of Emanuele Serra Nicoletti, a Rome-based visual artist working across painting, murals and illustration. His practice grew out of Rome’s graffiti scene and developed further during his graphic design studies in Buenos Aires, bringing together an urban sensibility and a considered approach to composition.

The human figure sits at the centre of his work. Through expressive characters, bold contours and restrained colour palettes, Emans91 explores vulnerability, personal relationships and the uncertainty of contemporary life. His paintings draw on everyday experiences, using gesture and atmosphere to suggest emotional states that often remain unspoken.

Since returning to Rome in 2021, he has developed both studio paintings and large-scale public works, moving between the intimacy of canvas and the shared space of the city. His international activity includes participation in URBAN BREAK in Seoul in 2024 and 2025, alongside collaborations with Apple, Adobe, Nike and Levi’s. Across these different contexts, his work retains a focus on the individual and the emotions that connect us.
