DANIELA GARAU

Co. Meath based artist, Daniela Garau is a member of Visual Artist Ireland. Her subjects range from Irish landscapes and wildlife to still life, pets, and portraits.

Daniela began producing paintings and drawings from a very early age, family members and school teachers always supported and encouraged her, with requests to keep some works for themselves with her permission.  Although University took her on a different path she always made time for painting, with commissioned fresco for local Italian retailers and portraits.

Daniela completed a degree in Environmental Engineering and her interest for the environment and wildlife has developed significantly during university years. Since then, she has begun incorporating sustainability in every aspect of her lifestyle.  This is also reflected in her choice of natural subjects, from landscapes to wildlife including still life and portraits

With her unique style and calming subjects, Daniela creates fine art paintings that enhance the ambiance of interiors, bringing a sense of tranquillity and aesthetic appeal to any space. Her work is so realistic that some of the figures appear to be coming right out of the canvas, making each painting feel alive and inviting, which adds even more depth to the peaceful atmosphere she creates.

Recently, she has explored abstract painting, enriching her portfolio and sparking her creativity across various mediums, including oils, polycolour pencils, watercolours, graphite, and acrylics.

Daniela has successfully participated in various exhibitions, including December 2023 exhibition at 'Dunamaise Arts Centre' in Portlaoise, where her work 'Balance, Still Life of a Pineapple' was selected by Blaise Smith RHA. In 2024 her oil painting 'Enchanting Beauty' was selected for the 'Bord Bia Bloom' Art Exhibition at Phoenix Park in Dublin.

She has also showcased her work at 'The Red Stables', 'People's Art' exhibition and ART Source in Dublin.

Today, her work is appreciated by art enthusiasts and collectors from Europe to the USA and Australia.
