Daniela Zocca

I was born, I live and work in Vicenza, Italy.

I have drawn and painted since childhood.
My strong desire to experiment makes me feel Art as a beautiful journey to make, day by day.

Art series "Opere incerte di certe opere certe" (uncertain artworks of some certain Masterpieces) is the final step of a long research went through the use of different materials like oil, acrylics, paper, sand, and , above all, enamel painting. Enamel, used in a very personal way in order to obtain a specific "soft and free" effect, is very difficult to control in figurative painting.

The artist revisits some masterpieces of the well-known Modern artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, J. Vermeer, J.H. Fragonard, G. Reni, etc.
Even if she changes most of the elements of historical paintings, she is able to make them recognizable thanks to her skills in using the semantic elements.
The distinctive brushstrokes of Daniela Zocca gives new life and meanings to the artworks of the Masters, making them very "fashionable" .

Her painting are in private collections in Italy, Germany, U.S.A. and Australia
