Artist Profile: Flavia Daniele

Overview:
Flavia Daniele is a multidisciplinary artist from Rome, now based in New York City, whose work merges analog photography with tactile mediums like embroidery, textile transfer, and printmaking. With a foundation in fashion and film photography, her practice explores the physicality of images in an increasingly digital world—challenging the ephemerality of visual culture by creating art that is material, intimate, and enduring.

Her current body of work, No Sense at All, centers on the sculptural qualities of the human body, using black-and-white photography as a base before transforming each image through textile transfer and handwork. Influenced by classical artists like Michelangelo and Caravaggio as well as contemporary photographers such as Ren Hang and Harley Weir, Daniele navigates themes of permanence, sensuality, and memory. Through the Studio Summer Residency, she aims to fully realize this long-evolving project and expand its scale, format, and impact.
