Artist Contextual study

Daniela Gullota

Daniela Gullota’s work depicts large empty interiors, often of an industrial nature. I think her intention is to draw the viewer's attention to the dramatic nature of space. Sometimes individual objects are emphasized and human presence is always suggested though never exemplified. A common way of working for her is the use of mixed media on wood.

The technique she uses to create these is to print grey scale photographs onto a mixture of surfaces including wood and slate using liquid emulsion, then begin manipulating these by adding lines and tone by hand in paint. She also collages several different photos of the same subject into one image, creating an altered perspective.

Daniela Gullota has created a mysterious atmosphere with this piece and it leaves the viewer wondering about the concept of the image and what it means. This is a good effect and it is an ideal creation to take inspiration from.
