About Daniela
My Artistic Journey
Art has been a constant companion in my life. My journey began in my childhood, where I would spend hours experimenting with colours and textures with my sister. From the moment I first dipped a brush in watercolour, I knew I had found my calling. Over the years, I've honed my skills in both watercolour and now with oil painting, developing a style that celebrates the vibrant interplay of colour and emotion. My work is a testament to the belief that art is not just about perfection, but about the beautiful journey of self-discovery.
Growing up, I was inspired by the natural beauty surrounding me and the vibrant art scenes in various cultures. This fascination led me to explore different mediums and techniques, from the fluidity of watercolours to the rich textures of oil paints. Each medium opened new doors of expression, allowing me to convey stories and emotions in unique ways.
As I honed my skills, I discovered my love for blending colors and creating dynamic compositions that evoke emotion and movement. My style evolved into a celebration of color and form, where each brushstroke is an exploration of the interplay between light and shadow. This journey of self-discovery has been both challenging and rewarding, shaping me into the artist I am today.
Embracing the Role of an Educator
While art has always been my passion, teaching became my purpose. I realised that sharing my knowledge and experiences with others could ignite the same creative spark I found in myself. Teaching allows me to guide others on their unique artistic journeys, helping them find their voice and confidence in their work.
Continuous Growth and Exploration
My journey is far from over. I am constantly learning, experimenting, and pushing the boundaries of my creativity. Whether through personal projects or collaborative endeavors, I am committed to growing as an artist and educator. This ongoing exploration fuels my passion and inspires me to bring fresh perspectives to my students and art community.
