Daniele Iozzia was born in Modica, Italy in 1974. His background is particularly interesting in that as well as being an accomplished painter, he also has a PhD in Philosophy and History of Ideas, has written about Classical Antiquity and Aesthetics and is a researcher of History of Ancient Philosophy. His paintings have been exhibited in Sicily, at the Il Polittico Gallery in Rome and at Rupert Cavendish Antiques in London.
Daniele is aware of the classical tradition of painting but his highly distinctive style also has a strongly contemporary and timeless perspective. His technique is mainly oil on linen canvas, inspired by the Old Masters he has studied. He is presently looking at different series of paintings which further combine the classical and contemporary ideas.
For the Pervigilium Veneris exhibition at Rupert Cavendish Antiques he presented a selection of paintings illustrating the connection between beauty, desire and inner experience.
