Daniele Cazzato is an Italian contemporary artist and designer born in Turin on October 7, 1964. He currently lives and works in Bossolasco in Alta Langa, Piemonte, having moved there in 2003 from Racconigi
Artistic Background and Education
Cazzato received his foundational education at Liceo Artistico Vittorio Veneto, followed by three years of specialized training in artistic graphics, illustration, and image design at Arte Studio in Turin. He further refined his artistic skills through eight years of intensive study in Francesco Preverino's studio
Multidisciplinary Practice
As a contemporary artist and pure creative, Cazzato applies his expertise across multiple disciplines including painting, design, theatrical projects, and photography. Beyond his visual arts practice, he works as a painter, children's fairy tale writer, and advertising graphic designer. His professional portfolio includes both painting and sculpture, and he notably designed the new logo for Fondazione CRS
Career Development and Teaching
Cazzato's professional journey began with his artistic debut in 1987 through a collective exhibition at the Biblioteca Civica di Racconigi. Since 1991, he has been actively involved as one of the organizers of Piscina Arte Aperta. In 1992, he established "Novalia - Ricerca Arti Visive" in Bra, a private institute offering courses in drawing, painting, artistic graphics, illustration, and comics, collaborating with notable artists including Sergio Zaniboni, Cristina Girard, Paolo Zaniboni, and Maria Battaglia
Notable Exhibitions and Recognition
His exhibition history includes significant shows such as a 1992 presentation at Castello di Macello with Rosa Bosco and Antonio Panino. In 2005, he participated in the international exhibition "Intorno al Don Chisciotte," curated by Antonio D'Amico and organized in collaboration with the Spanish Cultural Institute Cervantes, which toured Spain, France, Italy, and Germany. He also participated in the 2011 Biennale
Artistic Style
Cazzato's work focuses on figurative representation, characterized by evanescent pictorial bodies and fleeting gazes that appear simultaneously immobile and silent. His paintings often feature dissolving figures or dreamlike visions, executed with long, nervous, and full-bodied brushstrokes using multiple colors. A representative work, "ATTESA" (1991), demonstrates his approach through a frontal female figure rendered in acrylics on plaster
