The influence of the Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral marks the work of Daniela Meza Sigala. Originally from Chile, the artist is steeped in the texts of the writer who was also the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature, in 1945.

Daniela Meza Sigala’s silhouettes have now become iconic. Exuberant hairstyles, excessive sizes, symbolic shapes, they appear on theatrical stages with a great richness of textures and colors. A dreamlike world, where the scent of roses mixes with the mysteries of golden numbers. So many elements to decode on the canvas or even on the back, which sometimes serves as a support for his impressions and inspirations. The double reading gives substance to these queens for a day, characters of the commedia dell’arte of modern times, which crystallize the multiple influences of the artist established in Florence, Italy.

Daniela Meza Sigala was born in 1964 in Chile. She studied arts and humanities at the University of Design in Chile before continuing her apprenticeship at the School of Fine Arts in Florence. It was in the Tuscan city that she set up her studio in 1991
