About Me — Daniele Cazzato

Artist

Daniele Cazzato

Italian contemporary artist and designer born in Turin on October 7, 1964. He currently resides in Bossolasco in the Alta Langa region of Piedmont, having relocated there in 2003 from Racconigi.

Cazzato trained at the Liceo Artistico Vittorio Veneto, followed by a three-year specialized course in artistic graphics, illustration, and image design at Arte Studio in Turin. The most transformative period of his education was the eight years of intensive study in the private studio of Francesco Preverino, professor at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Torino (Accademia Albertina).

His practice spans multiple disciplines: painting, design, theatrical projects, photography, sculpture, children’s literature, and advertising graphic design. He also teaches painting and art history, and designed the new logo for Fondazione CRS.

His figurative work features evanescent pictorial bodies and fleeting gazes that appear simultaneously immobile and silent, employing long, nervous, and full-bodied brushstrokes using multiple colors. Angels appear as a recurring motif — figures of transcendence that bridge the sacred and the everyday.
