Arteclettica, the international artist team of Dominic Panziera and Daniela Garofalo, embraces the idea of the complementarily of the Arts. They believe it is the uniqueness of a piece of art, stimulus of imagination and creativity, which enriches our existence. They are striving towards a global art, respectful of the past, projected to the future, thought out from the smallest detail. Their work includes public art, mosaics, mixed media, sculpture, murals, portraiture, paintings, interior design, and architecture.
Their completed public art projects include three commissions for the City of Reno, Nevada, including a large scale mosaic floor piece for the Municipal Courthouse, two exterior floor mosaics for the City of Riverside, California, commissioned artwork for the promotional materials for Reno is Arttown, and two original designs used for mosaic columns in a subway station in Rome, Italy. They have also been included in Pre-qualified Artist Pools for Public Art Projects in Sacramento and San Jose, CA, Seattle, WA, Reno, NV, and El Paso, TX, and selected as finalists for numerous public art projects ranging from Naples, Italy to Miami, Florida to Long Beach, California.
Their work for private owners include showroom and home design, mosaics, and sculptures both locally and internationally, and their work has been featured in various exhibits, publications, and reviews.
They are considered innovative and flexible in their work, and their backgrounds in art, architecture, and engineering provide them with the ability and discipline to complete a project both artistically and successfully.
Daniela was born in Rome, Italy, passed the State Exam in Architecture there, and received her Architectural degree, specializing in Monumental Architectonic Restoration (110/110 with laude) with her emphasis and thesis in Scenography, at the University of La Sapienza in Rome, as well.
