Biography

Daniela Domenichini was born in Bologna, a city oozing an intimate enchantment, to be enjoyed in a simple stroll under the ancient arcades, while soaking in warm colours that turn into luminescence as they are aquarelled by the fog.

Frequenting painter Giovanni Romagnoli’s atelier led her to approach a range of painting techniques and to experience the fascination of art. As a teenager, her maestro’s favourable judgment encouraged her to take up painting.

Later on, life led her towards other paths that disconnected her from dedication to art.

In 1994 she enthusiastically started reasoning over art as an artist again, and her desire to face up to her own emotions took over. At the same time as resuming her painting activity with passion and rigour, she successfully attended the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Bologna, where she graduated.

Through rapid, irreversible times of artistic study and experimentation, the conceptual restlessness of informality faces the much-loved figurative language, while evoking images of incandescent electric wires: these convey quivering pulsation and feelings, unleashed from the urgency of colour.

The canvas becomes an anarchic territory: an extraordinarily free, silent and screaming container of possible visions, where nothing could actually be as it appears.

Through a number of collective and personal exhibitions, Daniela Domenichini has drawn near that smart, libertarian and demanding audience that so unconditionally cherishes and loves her.
