Daniele Cestari was born in 1983 in Ferrara. He graduated in architecture in 2009 and then dedicated himself to painting. His career as an artist is closely linked to his university studies in architecture, which he completed with a thesis in urban planning. In this context he developed a predilection for the physical appearance of the city and for the urban landscape by studying painting and photography. He has held exhibitions in private galleries and public spaces in Italy and abroad (Boston, London, Amsterdam, Mykonos, Sofia, Buenos Aires, Toulouse). In 2011 he was invited to the Emilia Romagna regional pavilion for the 54th Venice Biennale and in 2014 he was invited to participate in the exhibition Portraits of the City – Urban Sceneries curated by Flaminio Gualdoni at Villa Olmo in Como. Among his latest personal exhibitions are those held in Montalcino, Boston (USA) and Varese. Cestari is a landscape champion. His are broad urban views, played on potentially infinite perspectives, where buildings reveal themselves as pretexts for a rethinking of space. The silence of the barely whispered chromatic score - often played on a reduced range of tones ranging from grays to whites or from browns to ochres - suddenly lights up in the ring of scratches of color, incongruent stripes, thickenings of matter that force the viewer to rethink the image. He lives and works in Ferrara.
