ART SPEAKS FOR ITSELF | “I use my art to its fullest and highest development for the motivation, healing, uplifting and inspiration of my fellow beings”
Message
Formed initially in classical painting during her teenage years, Daniela Wicki left the world of painting for a successful career as a lawyer. Her business ventures later led her to New York. The city’s energy and its Museum of Modern Art developed Daniela’s individual abstract sensibility and triggered a robust creative response, influencing her decision to go back to painting full time.
In 1995, she moved back to Peru, where she studied and worked alongside major contemporary Peruvian artists. In 1997, she moved to Miami, USA, where she continues her creative work, immersed full-time as a multimedia artist. During her career, she has had a number of successful local and international exhibits, earning the acclaim of critics, a strong presence in prominent collections, and wide recognition for her force as an artist.
Statement
I am thoroughly inspired and moved by the actions that the development of a painting continuously requires. I enjoy the process and seek out the experience of encountering something: discovery, chance, adventure, technology, or new materials. Abstract painting has always had a cathartic effect through which I channel my innermost energy.
For me, art is an aesthetic, ethical and ultimately spiritual force: a challenge made in the experience of finding in each and every creation a self-realization a self-portrait of my own energy, a landscape of forces, life in motion rather than still-life. I use my art to its fullest and highest development for the motivation, uplifting, and inspiration of my fellow beings.
Through thorough and methodical research, I learned about the latest cutting-edge technologies, fabrics, and materials being used in various industries, including automotive airflow dynamics, auto-reflection painting, fashion design fabrics, and Artificial Intelligence. These learnings empower me to find the right formula to guide the viewer through a meditative experience of the artwork's evident qualities and to allow them to discover the unknown side of the artwork.
In the Waves of Wind series, the viewer experiences a new emotion in the absence of light. In the Dynamic Reflection series, the artwork is visually altered according to the viewer’s spatial relation to it. Although in the end, the viewer becomes the director of their own imagination, they must think of themselves as a traveler open to new experiences.
