Each sculpture expresses a message: they are monuments that become symbols in which we can recognize ourselves as individuals and as components of a unique and distinctive collectivity, whose values belong to us.
In his poetics, figurativism and the search for beauty are the concrete handles chosen to stimulate positive emotions and move consciences to imagination and the project of a better future. Mirroring is the ancestral gesture, straddling public and private, that gave rise to Humanity, while the fold, the physical expression of change (life's only constant), is the metaphor of the experiences that pass through us and define us as we are: unique individuals. The set of planes generated between the folds are the thousand faces of reality, which appears unique, but is multiple. As is truth. The use of “ultramarine blue”, on the other hand, deep and intense, transfigures the object into an idea of itself, forcing us to approach and focus on the moment, for a small, but important, experience of the present.
Very active in Corporate Art with the Art/Company/Territory project, he also creates very effective symbolic sculptures on the web and social media, to integrate the artistic project as a strategic and communication asset for the company of excellence, capable of creating economic value (Stakeholder Value), image value (Brand Value) and social value (Shared Value), with the return, gratitude and involvement (Engagement) of society in the company's value process.
Generally speaking, in the works of Daniele Basso, Art is experienced as an opportunity to share thoughts and emotions that can inspire individuals and communities to continuous improvement and the design of the future
