Meet Eleonora, known as Dante Heks

Today we’d like to introduce you to Eleonora, known as Dante Heks.

Eleonora, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I was a dreamer since I remember myself… Vivid pictures of the most unreal and spectacular reveries are always parading in my mind fueling my imagination – good that natural predisposition for engineering and unstoppable desire for active development made me an artist who does not linger over those marvellous pictures but who brings them to life!
Over the last decade, I dived into many forms of making visions real and that’s what I enjoy in life the most. I started as a teenage photographer and student in Modelling & Acting Agency – both paths gave me a good foundation to explore further. Currently, I’m occupying myself mostly with photography and modeling (sometimes simultaneously, in the most creative forms), graphic design (Illustrations/Book Covers, Art Creation, Photo Retouching), Digital Marketing. Additionally, I support some of my clients as a life coach and a fitness advisor.
My curiosity to discover more was always motivating me for further artistic exploits, therefore I’m constantly honing my skills and crave to annihilate any boredom that may appear on the horizon. Lately, I moved to the US – as for me, a very fertile ground for artistic exploration and further development of my artistic career.
I think I was born to be wild and my mind is always full of ideas that don’t let me be passive. Thanks to my mother since my childhood I was involved in various artistic ventures like playing in TV advertisements, TV shows, singing, leading festivals and fashion shows where I would sometimes also be a model. I simply couldn’t stay away from the artistic world, nor I wanted to.
I do enjoy everything that I do and I do what I enjoy! It is as simple as that – because life is too short to get engaged in activities that put your spirit down… I love creating what gives people feeling that dreams are real, I’m glad to see excitement and happiness of those I worked with because they are satisfied with the results, I enjoy uplifting people and show them that they are as great as they can allow themselves to be.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Obstacles are relative. Sometimes if the door is closed, perhaps it is better not to siege it by force but to look around and to notice that there are plenty of wonderful paradises waiting to be noticed. I think that my attitude and what I went through in life made me much more of a lady warrior. Simply where other people see obstacles I find possibilities and I turn them into something much better than could have been assumed.

We’d love to hear more about your art.
Dante Heks is the artistic pseudonym that I came up with several years ago when my interest & skills in art exceeded just modeling or just photography.

I think that the most remarkable achievement of mine is that I managed to become the One Artist Army.

Broadly speaking I can deal with the entire marketing campaign (Creative Concept Building, Photography/Graphic Design, Modeling and Image Building, Implementation/Promotion, Progress Monitoring and Adjustments). Additionally, I can work fast – very fast if required, what leaves people more than satisfied with our cooperation.

What is “success” or “successful” for you?
For me, Success is when you feel satisfied and content. You are on the right path when you feel that your work has meaning and you are true to yourself, when you have a home, which is more than a word – rather a real feeling you share with those who are dear, when each day brings something new – something that keeps you away from stagnation. Success is when you can refuse to lower your standard merely to please random people when you can stick to your creed without fear of being rejected because you know who you are and what matters. I daresay that success is a hazy notion – it would be different for everyone…
