Daniela Cristallo
“My work explores the nature of memory and place, through new found conversations between the controlled and incidental; between intuitive and premeditated markings from the tactile footprint of this land. ”
Daniela Cristallo is an emerging contemporary abstract artist who lives and works in Sydney. She predominately works with acrylic and oil-stick on canvas and board, with a long time interest in drawing with mixed media on paper.
Daniela is known for her richly textured paintings that are inspired by the Australian landscape which strongly draw upon her plein air studies. Back in the studio, she explores these places with deeper mediations using the materiality of paint to allow these original forms to meet in a more primal and inventive way.
Her connection to the many places travelled and experienced attempts to convey an intimate subjectivity that evokes emotion and a sense of place through the language of colour, texture, mark and mood. Daniela’s work is exhibited regularly and has been a finalist in a significant number of art awards and accrued in private collections both nationally and internationally.
