Cityscapes
Daniela Maria Gargiulo is a British artist, and has lived and worked in Sussex for the past 19 years. Her current work is autobiographical and documents her everyday life through painted paper collage. Daniela’s source is a growing collection of over 700 ‘self portrait’ photographs, taken as a documentary diary from 2015 to the present day. Her art celebrates the life of a middle-aged woman living in contemporary Sussex. The medium of collage animates the often mundane source…
Having dabbled unconvincingly for a few years, I started painting in earnest in 2018 when I took a part time adult learning course. I discovered I had a little talent and a lot of passion so have continued from there. Starting off with acrylics, I took the leap into oils a few months ago and absolutely love them. I am still experimenting a lot and discovering myself as an artist, but I really enjoy portraits and unusual close ups.
