Daniela Astone

Daniela Astone, born in 1980 in Pisa, is one of those people who, from an early age, had the good luck to discover her true passion. She grew up in Porto Santo Stefano (Maremma, Italy), and it didn't take her long to decide that she wanted to be an artist when she grew up. In fact, at the age of 14, she began studying art at the Institute of Arts in Grosseto.

She graduated in 1998, and in that eagerness to keep discovering new horizons, he moved to Florence, where he studied Illustration at the international school of Comix. At the same time he was studying, he was also doing freelance work for multiple editors and studios.

After a couple of years, she turned her professional career back to painting and drawing. That is why, in 2001 (at the age of 21), Daniela decided to enter the Florence Academy of Art. Already in her second year as a student, Daniel Graves, director of the school, counts on her as an instructor for the younger students. She graduated in 2004 but continued as a teacher at the FAA.

From then on, Daniela Astone began to forge her career as a fully formed painter. In fact, in 2005, just one year after graduating, she had her first solo exhibition at the Ann Long Fine Art Gallery in Charleston, South Carolina. The success of her first solo work led Daniela to open her studio in Tuscany.

Since then, she has exhibited her work all over the world (starting in New York and even in Russia and Europe, of course), has won many other awards  (to mention one of them, in 2013 she got accepted into the BP Portrait Award Exhibition in London with her Self-portrait) and has given workshops in her studio as well as in other academies in many countries.


DANIELA ASTONE'S STYLE AND PRACTICE

Daniela, as she herself says, is very intuitive and impulsive. This goes along with her vision of art: “Art doesn’t have a practical function, in my opinion. I like art that you do without having some sort of constriction”, she said during an interview with TIAC Academy. Si just wants “to feel as free as possible”.   

The truth is that Daniela has dedicated her artistic career to different branches: in her work can be found from portraits to landscapes, through figures and still lifes. Below, you can find some of these works:
