Her Biography
Daniela Guidi, born in Rome on 20/03/1957, completed classical studies and attended the university of Philosophy, delving into linguistic and anthropological themes.
At the end of the decade she approached art through photography, curating photographic collections and writing a photography book for the Savelli publishing house.
From 1985 to 1990 her interest shifted to the field of graphics, where, among various works, she developed logos for construction companies (including Tor di Valle SPA), managed the coordinated image for a medical conference on behalf of Plasmon Spa, designed posters and coordinated images for CGIL seminars, and won the first competition for the advertising poster for evening schools of the Municipality of Rome.
She attended workshops on various expressive techniques such as raku ceramics and papier-mâché (at a Venetian mask workshop).
Her approach to painting returned in 2006, when she attended drawing and painting courses with the Edwards method “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” held by the painter Fiamma Morelli, and then continued by participating in full immersion workshops and meetings at the Association l’ XI Musa.
In 2008 she exhibited on the theme of the encounter between art and craftsmanship in a space curated by the Municipality of Cave
In 2012 she exhibited at the “Cascina Farsetti” Museum at the CAPITOLIUM PRIZE
In 2012 she participated in the GIORGIO CASTELLI prize – ART MAKES THE HEART VIBRATE at Palazzo Valentini Rome
After a long period of pause, she resumed her research in the artistic field.
Her interdisciplinary background leads her to use different materials and various artistic approaches, to observe the images that surround us, the architectures, the spaces to grasp their compositional strength, make it her own and reinvent it.
Her expressive research thus plays on the transfiguration of spaces and volumes and on the alternation of light and shadow to create new perspectives and a vision of the world that is never univocal and definitive.
