About this artwork
As looking at the page: The story of the world and its peoples.
St Mark’s Cathedral and Campanile, Venice.. what came to my mind was the emptiness of this world-known square, a place usually visited daily by thousands of people. A place now suddenly deserted, with an unseen emptiness because of the Virus. This place devoid of movement I reflect with the image of the innocent and empty sky, not one cloud, like not one person visible.
This mirrored sky is the mirror of a story repeated in history. It is why I used a mirrored image of a picture I took in Venice some years ago. The town of Venice has suffered other many epidemics in the past. The time Cholera hit the City was so well described by Thomas Mann. The famous Venetian masks of the Carnival are now replaced in the picture with another mask, this time for safety, covering the building of the Palazzo Ducale.
About Daniel
My works are to surprise with their direct discourse and to draw attention by the purity of forms. The photography and collages have a subtle point that distinguishes them from everything else our eyes are used to see, as distancing oneself from the work they start to give a new perspective, not given to the first look.
Sometimes my work verges on Surrealism with a certain sense of humor, but all works follow my own aesthetic.
I place objects on different kinds of surfaces to give them heterogeneous textures. When taking photographs, my goal is not so much the originality of the composition but how to achieve images brimming with poetry, conferring on them their own identity and making any object attractive, no matter how ordinary it may be. I also work with a direct and simple line of the drawing.
I work on canvas, Dibond, and paper, with digital art, collage, painting Photography, and drawing.
