DANIEL MAZZONE
Biography
Daniel Mazzone was born in Toronto, Canada, into a family of artists, where he was immersed in a creative environment from an early age. His mother, an art teacher, passed on to him her passion for stained glass composition, a discipline that fascinated him deeply. At school, his teachers and classmates quickly recognized his exceptional potential. However, his artistic passion was sidelined when he fell on hard times and became homeless at the age of 15. Thanks to his mother’s unfailing support, Daniel resumed his studies at the age of 20, obtaining his GED (General Education Diploma), then continuing on to university before embarking on a career as a mortgage broker. After watching a documentary on art, Daniel Mazzone rediscovered his inspiration and began creating works for the simple pleasure of artistic expression.
Through his creations, Daniel Mazzone tells the stories of people he has met on his travels. He composes his works from materials collected on the spot, transforming visual artifacts such as letters, magazine covers, song lyrics and newspaper articles into the building blocks of his works. The artist is not content to simply depict a likeness, but seeks to breathe soul into her creations, capturing the essence of each person and thus conveying their story.
The vivid colors of her creations catch the light, creating a lively, dynamic art. Black lines, inspired by the art of stained glass, and glossy finishes add texture and depth, amplifying the cathartic intensity of his works.
