Born in South West London, Daniele is a self- taught
artist. Half Italian, hence the spelling of his name
which often causes confusion! He lives in Guildford,
Surrey, England with
his wife and menagerie of animals. |
 |
|
Daniele paints
primarily Landscape, Seascape or Animals. He paints in a
traditional style, and tries to achieve a sense of
realism in his works. He is especially interested in
effects of light. |
|
He exhibits with 5 art societies
and enjoys receiving commissions for painting animals,
buildings and trains, as well as his usual landscapes. |
|
Daniele started painting in 2001, and joined his then
local art group, Merton Art Society, in 2003. He is now
their Exhibition Secretary, and received the “Favourite
Painting” accolade 5 times at MAS exhibitions between
2007 and 2010. |
|
In 2009 he was commissioned by Network
Rail to paint two posters to be used by the company to
promote trackside safety amongst staff. As a result of
this, he was also commissioned to paint Woking Junction
for an outgoing Route Director of Wessex Region of
Network Rail. |
|
He also won the Jill Seward Memorial
Trophy in July 2011 at Frimley and Camberley Society of
Arts for "The People's Choice" favourite painting. |

atmospheric landscapes and woodland scenes attract much
attention. |

Daniele has been painting since 2001, and joined Merton
Art Society two years later. Now the society’s
exhibitions secretary, he told us: “I would encourage
anyone with an interest in painting to join, as you will
make many new friends, meet other local artists, and
exhibit your work in twice yearly exhibitions. I even
met my wife through the society!” |
