Texts
Daniele Dell'Eva's preferred means of expression is undoubtedly sculpture, his favorite material is wood with all its material properties, shapes and coloring. The play between disassembling and (re)assembling, the application and removal of individual layers are at the center of his artistic work. The naturalistic head sculptures are created without a model or pattern. They are by no means to be understood as portraits, but rather the product of an imaginary world of the artist's thoughts. As soon as Dell'Eva imbues them with life by virtue of his work, this marks the end of a multi-layered creative process.
