RESEARCH

Nature is a continuous process, we belong to nature and our psyche to it; every psychic motion is a natural development and as such an element of the cosmos’ cosmos, indispensable, inseparable, in a constant necessary relationship.

Unconscious everyday life is embedded within static processes, strongly dictated and influenced by a perception complexity that comes from a collective consciousness, carved into psycho-behavioral activities stunned by history. The very essence of nature exists on reality’s different and countless levels in which our mind can select and choose exactly the landscape in which to be, but the needed depth for the activation of a process of this kind is such as to demand a spiritual fullness that allows the fusion with the natural and daily whole. The surface on which we have usually been educated and live on is a complex one because incomplete, not simple and not banal. The reality of the whole goes beyond complexity and appears to be in the ingenuity and alacrity of the fully centred individual.

BIO

Born in Varese in 1976, today the artist lives and works in Palermo, Italy. Over the years the research techniques have been various (drawings, installation sculptures, set design, editorial illustration, video art, photography) enabling today the expression of, in an articulate and coherent awareness, his artistic professional research that moves towards a constant reinterpretation of nature, willing to explain human emotions and thoughts, so as to grasp « togetherness ». 

...

His first artworks belong to the 2003/2009 figurative period, sculptures are dominated by the human figure and the energy of the body. The figures relate to daily use objects, a pretext to justify new shapes and sculptural architectures that convey narration, mystery and irony. Then in 2009/2011 the research evolved towards constructivism and abstract art expression, to the point of verging on the kinetic-minimalist sculptural art. 

In 2010 his first stay in Palermo where the artist is mainly dedicated to drawings though without thinking of a specific subject, without closing himself towards a defined direction – here the point when the artistic research finds representation and belonging in ORGANIC REINVENTION, 2011 to date, for the definition of his own artistic and personal identity as a reinvention and reinterpretation of the natural world. Daniele's transdisciplinar identity today finds ground and exchange within Dimora OZ, Art Factory and artistic and cultural placemaking project in Palermo that deals with Contemporary Art issues. Enthusiastic member since 2015, OZ includes the following professionals: Visual and Relational artists, social and art educators, performers, media artists, electronic musicians, designers, photographers, art curators.
