As a multidisciplinary artist, exploration and research are part of my being.
Fascinated by creation, I am interested in exploring its entire process, from the choice of materials to the finishing touches.
My desire is to arouse emotions in the viewer through shapes and colours.
Time, its essence and absence, as well as balance, are fundamental pillars underpinning my work,
Aion, Kronos, Uranos, metempsychosis,
scenarios impossible to place in a chronology, lived, tactile, structured objects, subjects that evoke symbolism, recreating a mystical and timeless atmosphere.
In most of my paintings, these are meant to represent moods or emotional situations, often placed in transcendent places where the spirit breaks the linearity of time.
Using a graphic language reminiscent of the symbolism of ancient cultures, my works work on several levels, such as the aesthetic level, where the importance of chromatic scale is primary, and the unconscious level, inviting the viewer to relive or understand an emotion through the use of colours, figurative or semi-figurative subjects, which recreate a unique atmosphere.
I use acrylic as the main protagonist, experimenting with different techniques and adding mediums to recreate different textures that give texture to the work, in order to achieve a solid and palpable painting.

Biography
I'M Davide Mattera, known as Dasly (1984 Italy), multidisciplinary artist and international tattoo artist living in Barcelona, Spain.
I approached street art at a young age, using the walls as a canvas.
Always fascinated by what was underground, against the system and outside the box, I discovered tattooing.
I've been tattooing in ornamental and tribal style from 2005, in different countries and continents, and this has allowed me to explore different cultures, to touch with my hands what I had read in anthropology books, to discover and deepen different art forms, from the craftsmanship of the Amazon tribes to Tibetan painting.
My art is inspired by my travels and personal studies of the esoteric world.
Visionary paintings in their hybrid fusion, which I do not like to categorize in an artistic current, but rather become my personal language of expression.
