Bio

Daniela Astone was born in Pisa in 1980 and was raised in the town of Porto S. Stefano in Maremma, Italy. She discovered her passion for drawing and painting at a very young age and began cultivating this passion. In 1997, after graduating from the Visual Arts High School of Maremma, her motivation for the arts initiated a move to Florence. The cultural city of Florence provided her with the opportunity to deepen her knowledge and love of art by both challenging and motivating her. Daniela's first experience in Florence was working in a school for illustrators. In 2001 she enrolled in the Florence Academy of Art, one of the most prestigious art schools in Florence. Upon graduating in 2004 she received the painting award, hereby achieving the highest honor of her class. Daniela's accomplishments include participation in the exhibition "Realism Revisited" in the Panorama Museum, Bad Frankenhausen Germany in 2003 as well as two successful solo shows with Ann Long Fine Art in 2005 and 2007. Daniela currently teaches at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence and resides in the nearby countryside.
