Biography:
Daniela Scanu, born in the city of Brescia in 1976, since childhood she showed a marked creative inclination, which led her to studies in fashion and drawing. She attended the IPSIA Fortuny Institute in Brescia, earning a diploma as a fashion designer and costume designer.
Consequently, she did not continue in the fashion sector, but pursued sports studies, which allowed her to become an international pole sport judge and athletic instructor.
She taught for several years at sports centers and dance schools:
Pole sport, aerial hoop, yoga, Caribbean dances, oriental dances, ballroom dancing, yoga.
Thanks to her great tenacity and determination, she achieved excellent results as an international athlete.
Among the most notable we recall:
First place in Tortosa, Spain at the "WSG 2019",
Second place in Finland at the "Championship 2019".
But her true vocation remains the art of photography, that quiet love which, thanks to dance and sport, she continues to cultivate, deepening specifically artistic nude, portraiture, and conceptual photography.
Daniela Scanu’s photographic world is capable of stunning and enchanting the viewer; her particular sensitivity and powerful expressive sense reach a strong convergence between artistic photography and painting and sculpture.
The ability to translate a body into universal iconographies through which emotions and personal introspection travel.
The human body becomes the vehicle for transporting the soul, an expression of pain, but also of great inner rebirth.
