Daniele D‘Aluisio

BIO Daniele D'Aluisio was born on 9 February 1986 in the town of Carpignano Salentino, within the Apulia region of south east Italy. After spending many years in Sydney, Australia, he is currently living in Los Angeles, California. He is a self-taught painter. His love for art led him to begin drawing and then painting, and over time his dedication has allowed his skills to grow to the point where his passion for art has developed a clear form and style. Daniele left Italy in 2012 searching for richer experiences and a deeper understanding of himself and his aspirations. His travels took him thousands of kilometres, over the three oceans, always learning about himself and therefore enriching his creativity. Daniele has lived and worked in Australia, USA, the Caribbean and Asia. Daniele is fascinated by the ever-present conflict, both external and internal, and the discomfort that it often stirs deeply within each of us. Daniele tries to use his art to capture that conflict and describe it, however he is aware that there often is no way to explain the unexplainable. Another recurring theme of Daniele’s paintings is the female body.His artwork is complex, at first sight seemingly easy to interpret but always with deeper meanings that are only possible to understand with dedicated attention. His characters are sometimes interpretations following an unhappy dream, other times they are merely used to illustrate the many questions of life.Ultimately in his works, we find an encouraging message of confidence and hope because, although cynical and realistic in his approach to life, Daniele believes that "Every dream has to be realised, for the love of our lives."
