MANA
Italy • 1987
Presentation
Each one of us gives a meaning to art... who more or less tries to make it real, there are those who do it for money, fame or just to express a thought. I'm Cesetti Daniele, aka MANA. I've been drawing since I was a child, without technique, without certificates and without a specific education.
I paint as a personal mission, it relieves stress and allows me to throw on canvas the emotions I have inside. Being an artist is a state of mind, something you have inside: it's putting that hint of yourself in whatever we do, like music, drawings, architecture... For me art is the expression of me the same as what I try... My art is a tale of me, it is the means I can use to communicate my opinion and my thought.
My art is not a culture of beauty, of perfection but an expression of myself. My task: through my work, to give society the opportunity to reflect, to observe the intimacy that is hidden in everything, I would like to be able to travel the observer on a carpet of colors and shapes, take him away, elevate him, make him dissociate from reality so that he can experience an emotion, both fascinating and happy and sad and regrettable.
I want to take you away for a single moment, I want to give you the opportunity to alienate yourself and live what you are looking at. Each work is a journey and in my opinion it doesn't need a description: everyone observes, reflects and imagines.
