Violante Daniele was born in Savona, Italy, in 1970. He began to paint when he was 25 years old as self-taught person, impressed from the informal abstractionism of Jackson Pollock. In spite of the scientific rigidity of a bachelor in Engineering, or perhaps just for this reason, in the painting he expresses the own emotionality that escapes from the control of the reason.

The attention of the spectator is captured from the strong colors and from the net of lines from which the emotionality of the artist is perceived, through the reading of a spontaneous and irrazionale action. The title of each work alludes symbolically to one only evoked truth. The emotions therefore are transferred on the canvas through a gesture serious and deep, but at the same time joyful that expresses the positive vital force of the artist.

In some painting it's very easy discovering the Ligurian oringins which are reflected in the blue monochrome used for the background. Colours of the traditional Albisola's potteries born to contain the remedies and medicines of the ancient chemistry can be found. In these paintings the contrast between what has been thought and what hasn't surfaces. The background is created following a scheme, while the foreground is lefte to the body using the tipical gesture of the Dripping and the Action Painting.

"For me, a painting must be amiable, glad and beautiful, yes, beautiful. There are already enough boring things in the life without making others. I know well that it is difficult to make people to admit that a painting can also belong to the greatest painting remaining allegro. The people that laugh never do not come taken seriously ". Pierre Auguste Renoir
