Daniela Orlandi Works

Artist Statement: I was born in Santiago , Chile 1976. Since I was a little girl I loved to draw, paint and play music. My work is generally associated with the circle as it is the central figure of my work together with all its derivatives; be it ovals, spheres,
spirals or circular outlines. I identify with the beauty of Hilma Klint's great compositions, with circles in almost all of her works. As Cirlot says, it is the perfect figure, which contains the whole- evolution, growth, life, time and space. When I begin to generate the composition, I do it as an
unconscious writing that my head adopted as its own, as a personal alphabet that forms a kind of visual, revealing my interest in the rhythm; which begin to appear with the repetition of figures, lines and points. Rhythms by alternation of colors and shapes, by repetition, by progression, radial or free rhythm. 

I have a Bachelor of Arts from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, with two subsequent extension courses in Metal Engraving from the same university. I have been instructed in: Ceramics; Loom, Cut and Manufacture of Textiles; Photographic emulsions; Moku-Hanga (Japanese engraving); Classical painting; Carved in linoleum using the matrix as a work and I have done private consulting work for artists.
Although with seven individual exhibitions in Chile, and many group exhibitions, fairs inside and outside the country, the last three years have been the most important. Among these, the Buenos Aires Biennial (ARGENTINA), Art on Paper New York (USA), World Art Dubai (ARAB EMIRATES), Museo Spazio Tadini Milan (ITALY), Beijing Biennial (CHINA), Colombia, Mexico, Art Expo New York, Spain and Carrousel du Louvre (Paris).

I have obtained two distinctions abroad and I was one of the two Chilean women selected to participate in the VIII Beijing Biennial 2019. I was also selected for the international invitation "Love can defeat the virus" in China (March 2020), and "The Chinese countryside in the eyes of the World Artists” at the Yang Huang Art Museum (September 2020). My works can be found in various private collections such as the Talagante Cultural Center, Ana María Matthei, the Chilean Embassy in Abu Dhabi, the Embassy of Chile in China and the National Museum of Art of
China (Association of Chinese Artists), to name a few.
