Biography

Born in Turin in 1964, Daniele Cazzato is a contemporary Italian artist whose practice spans painting, monumental sculpture, design, photography, theatre, and video. He trained at the Liceo Artistico Vittorio Veneto and later studied artistic graphics, illustration, and image design at Arte Studio in Turin.

A transformative period of eight years spent in the private studio of Francesco Preverino — professor at the Accademia Albertina — shaped the core of his artistic identity. Today he lives and works in the quiet beauty of Bossolasco, a hilltop village in the Alta Langa region of Piedmont.

His art is an ongoing exploration of human connection, protection, welcome, memory, and spirituality. Angels appear as a recurring motif throughout his body of work — figures of transcendence that bridge the sacred and the everyday.

“A pure creative whose art bridges the sacred and the everyday, seeking to give form to the invisible bonds between people.”
