Daniela Di Pasquale - untitled

Daniela Di Pasquale was born in San Benedetto Del Tronto (AP) in 1990. At the age of 4, she displayed a natural talent for drawing, which immediately took a special place in her life, filling her days with paper, pencils, and colors. Having discovered her future great passion early on, she enrolled in 2004 at the State Institute of Art in Fermo, specializing in Cultural Heritage Restoration, and graduated in 2009. In 2006, she participated in the "Archeoclub d’Italia" competition, creating a view depicting a church in Ripatransone, her current place of residence. In 2009, she exhibited a work (painting on wood) at the Pinacoteca di Fermo. In 2010, she devoted herself entirely to antique restoration. During the dark period of her mother's serious illness and subsequent loss, she dedicated herself completely to painting, attending a course taught by the painter Grazia Carminucci. In the summer of 2013, she participated in the "Arte insieme 2013" event at the "Pietraia dei poeti" Museum, created by the artist Marcello Sgattoni, in San Benedetto del Tronto. She also exhibited in conjunction with the "Work in progress" concert held at the Palazzina Azzurra in San Benedetto Del Tronto. Her most recent series of works takes inspiration from the neo-art movement "of the state of mind," founded by Maestro Antonio Apa, a proponent of "emo art." This gave rise to the idea of creating a series of works entitled "CHILDREN'S DREAMS," intended to represent the visions and perceptions of early life that emerge in a mind that has just passed adolescence. The paintings aim to artistically materialize unconscious states of mind—immaterial essences by their very nature—with their burden of uncertainty, doubts, and fears, but also hopes, enthusiasm, and authentic joys, deep and unconditioned emotions that can only belong to a pure soul, not yet corrupted by the limits and influences imposed by contemporary society.
