Daniela Corbascio
Daniela Corbascio lives and works in Bari.
After attending the Faculty of Architecture in Pescara, she embarked on art studies in 1985, beginning her training as a self-taught artist.
Her research, steeped in impulses and inspirations, turns to elaborate memories and visions. From a very young age, going through life surrounded by industrial materials, she has grasped the emotional essence of the material itself. The desire for salvation intrinsic in all her works, pushes her towards the recovery of elements that are mostly considered waste, but which through her installations become a medium for telling past stories, personal passages and prophecies of the future through a space-time expansion/explosion.
The characterising element is light, in its technological form (neon, LED...), inserted into current events through the inescapable evolution of each individual, represented by words and objects with a universal vocation. A "now long journey of an artist who is among the few in Italy to have systematically manipulated the neon tube as a founding or qualifying medium of an attitude towards large-scale installation, in open or closed spaces, ranging from the geometries of formal structuralism to restless visionary contaminations. It is the painful choice to reduce the use of light art as 'light writing' almost to the historical limit of conceptual-minimalist culture. ". To reveal through the cold and sharp medium of artificial light the secret of an obsession cultivated in the depths of an existential adventure she poured into the generosity of making and communicating". (P.Marino).
