Gianluca Danieletto (1979) - Sun Salutation, Studies for Silence, Untitled

In Saluto al sole, Gianluca Danieletto transforming the landscape into a quietly surreal encounter between nature and imagination. A monumental tree rises from the foreground, its exposed roots anchoring the composition while a small spiral form rests against its trunk like a mysterious emblem of growth, time and continuity.

The soft pink sky, layered clouds and intensely worked vegetation create a dreamlike atmosphere in which familiar elements become slightly otherworldly. Executed in crayon, the work retains the tactile immediacy of the medium, allowing colour, texture and gesture to remain visible across the surface.

Part of Danieletto’s Studies for Silence series, the work reflects the artist’s interest in constructing intimate visual worlds where silence becomes a space for contemplation.

Gianluca Danieletto

Born in Trieste in 1978, Gianluca Danieletto is an Italian painter and printmaker working between Trieste and Lugano.

After two decades devoted to tattooing, Danieletto turned his attention towards painting and works on paper, developing a practice centred on psychological spaces, suspended environments and enigmatic presences. His works move between recognisable forms and imagined worlds, creating scenes that feel at once familiar and strangely removed from reality.

Working across oil painting, drawing and etching, Danieletto employs a restrained palette and carefully controlled light. Everyday forms become vessels for quiet tension, while seemingly still environments acquire an introspective and almost cinematic quality.

His practice is concerned less with narrative than with atmosphere, inviting the viewer into spaces where time appears suspended and the boundary between the real and the imagined becomes deliberately uncertain.
