Thank you for choosing me for one of your features. I am happy to present some recent artwork in this ‘virtual exhibition’. I create a lot of portraits, I like to paint people, I find the face has a lot to say. As in the case of ancient statues, carved by time, of a beauty that transcends the centuries, a beauty that comes to us from a world other than our own, set in another time.

Catawiki – Top Artists 2021

Dario Moschetta integra un tocco di modernità nella pittura tradizionale, rendendo le sue opere classiche e sperimentali. Chi è: con sede a Castelfranco, città a un’ora da Venezia, Dario Moschetta lavora in quella che molti definirebbero un’oasi artistica…

Adventures of Yoo,

Using acrylic on canvas, Dario Moschetta, an artist from a small town near Treviso, Italy, creates incredibly striking portraits of people. Though he experiments in various techniques, especially for his Cityscapes series, it’s his gorgeous paintings of faces that caused me to stop and stare…

SaatchiArt – Inside the Studio (2019). Dario Moschetta artist interviews and press

What are the major themes you pursue in your work?
I like to portray people and study their expressions. I like aerial views of big cities and city skylines without the presence of people. From that vantage point, the cities appears silent and full of mystery. Lately I’ve been captured by classical marble statues. They are ageless, immortal beauties. Everybody is fascinated by them, and their beauty deserves to be forever preserved by the most resistant material. I paint these statues and I try in my own way to make some of their beauty to stay.
Sometimes this beauty turns out to be more attractive if there is some flaw: a missing nose or a chip on the surface.
How did you first get interested in your medium, and what draws you to it specifically?
I use two different techniques. It all depends on the kind of effect I want to give to…

UrbanUp – Torre Velasca Exhibition (2016)

E proprio il futuro è la dimensione temporale che viene evocata dall’esposizione temporanea ospitata nello Spazio Museo di Torre Velasca, dal 1° all’11 marzo 2016. Ti ricordi il futuro? presenta sei opere tratte dalla serie Cityscapes di Dario Moschetta, artista sperimentale che ama mescolare elementi di fotografia e pittura per realizzare le sue visioni urbane, in grado di catturare l’anima di intere metropoli a partire da dettagli essenziali. La luce, le linee prospettiche degli edifici, la curva di una strada: un lungo processo di lavorazione fa risaltare i particolari su tele dall’aspetto vissuto, regalando ai visitatori una serie inedita di panorami cittadini.

The Guardian – Portrait Feature (2019)

Moschetta’s work explores the busy life of the metropolis. He wants the finished works to resemble posters on the street, torn and worn out by time…

Inspiration Grid

Italian artist Dario Moschetta paints interesting portraits with a blurred, glitchy aesthetic. “When l’m painting portraits or cityscapes or working to some mixed media artworks I don’t have complex thoughts, I just think about giving the right color, the right shadow and the right light to the artwork. I often stop and take a few steps back to look at what l’ve done, and I look at it very differently compared with the way I observe it as I’m working on it.”

The Best Address – Dario Moschetta artist interviews and press (2023)

What’s integral to the work of an artist?
Today, the most important thing, in my opinion, for an artist is to search for new ways to make art, to evolve what artists have long used as a medium, to go beyond the use of colors in tube and brushes. In the past, few have done this, but now thanks to new technologies, the search for new materials and visual systems may be within everyone’s reach if they want to make something artistic that will stand the test of time.
What role does the artist have in society?
The artist looks at the world in a very personal way, with a different sensitivity. The artist sells, otherwise he could not make a living, but in a way he gives everyone something beautiful, or at the very least, original. He offers a different look at what surrounds us. It reminds everyone that what we see is beautiful and we must preserve it.

Singulart – Artist Feature (2020)

Can you talk about your artistic influences and other artists you are most inspired by?
I studied various artistic masters for a long time, starting with Leonardo (da Vinci) and Michelangelo, through to Rembrandt, Vermeer, Canova, and up to the modern art of the twentieth century. The artists that have influenced me most in the last decade are Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Marc Quinn, Damien Hirst, Andrew Salgado and Hanjo Smith. Do you prefer to work alone or collaborate with others?I’ve always worked alone. The artist’s workspace is lonely and very intimate. There are only a person or two that know exactly my working methods, because they know difficulties and joys that are involved in doing this job.

Frameweb – Artist Introduction (2013)

A native of Castelfranco Veneto, a small town in Italy, Dario Moschetta says his practice results in the creation of “mixed media” works. Yet his technique is more complex than what “mixed media” might suggest…
