LEGENDS NEVER DIE #2 Print

Danilo Cicero was born in the city of Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, in 1999. He creates digital and analog artworks since 2014, he is an artist with a clear autonomous and self-taught trajectory. With 23 years of age, he worked with national and international artists of great importance. Currently, he develops his art through digital design, although he is interested in everything related to visual art. He works with an aesthetic very marked by his style, but also very versatile, being able to carry out various projects and commissions with ease. In July 2021, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, he delved into crypto-art occupying much of his time, the personal works he created to post on Instagram he began to publish as NFT, specifically collage pieces. Collage, both digital and analog, was always present in his works. In recent years, his work has opted for this discipline with great dedication. He finds in collage the possibility of taking something old and giving it a new life; with images and material already forgotten he resignifies them, placing them in other times and spaces, generating new universes with his ideas. As an artist, his works have been exhibited in Miami, USA, at the MI:MA//CROSS A physical/virtual NFT GALLERY, in Montreal, Canada, at the NFTs ON A BIKE! in the streets of Montreal, in New York, USA at the Teia After-Party at Hunters Point Studios, in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the ARCHIVO LANZA Exhibition at the Centro Cultural Municipal Mercado Hugo Caruso and the most recent in Brazil at the NFT São Paulo at the Museum of Immigration of São Paulo. His NFTs are hosted on Tezos and Ethereum blockchains, mainly Teia(ex hicetnunc) and Opensea, Artbag, Rarible, among others. He works only single edition pieces (1/1) so his works are somewhat exclusive. ARTIST STATEMENT As an artist I am interested in all kinds of disciplines related to visual art, finally I choose analog and digital collage as my main technique because it is the one that fills me the most when creating. I find in this technique the possibility to take something old and give it a new life; with images and material already forgotten I resignify it, placing them in new times and spaces, generating new universes with my ideas. My works make me feel a sense of rescuing the abandoned or something like that, although I dislike how corny that sounds.
