Catalogue Note
In the evocative work "Shaman with Candle," we are invited into a liminal space where the mystical and the mundane intertwine. The shaman, a conduit to the arcane, is captured in a moment of transcendental communion, her expression one of intense concentration or otherworldly revelation.
The stark contrast between the soft glow of the candle and the encroaching shadows accentuates the dichotomy of knowledge and the unknown.
​
The crown of thorns adorning her head, reminiscent of withered flora, signals a departure from the vitality of blooming flowers, suggesting a deep affinity with the cyclical decay and rebirth inherent in natural magic. It evokes the shaman's mastery over the elements and the cycle of life, symbolizing a connection to the earth that is both nurturing and formidable.
​
The flame, animated by a spectral breeze, appears as a singular entity, perhaps indicative of the shaman's inner fire or the manifestation of an ethereal presence. The air around her seems charged with a primordial energy, hinting at the threshold of worlds unseen.
​
This piece defies the boundaries of time and place, positioning the viewer within the ritual itself.
It raises questions: Is the flame a harbinger of enlightenment or an omen of darker tidings? Are we, the onlookers, passive witnesses or active participants in this rite?
​
"Shaman with Candle" is not merely a portrait; it is a narrative captured in medias res, a frozen dialogue between the shaman and the elemental forces at her command. The viewer is left to ponder the nature of the ritual and the power wielded by the figure who, with a gaze that pierces through the veil of reality, invites us to look beyond.

About the Artist, Daniel Salvi
Daniel Salvi is a visionary artist at the forefront of digital graphic design and AI artistry.
His journey began in adolescence, marked by a profound ability to communicate emotions visually, and the winning of numerous graphic design contests. Salvi's passion for visual communication led him to the Polytechnic University of Milan, where he not only earned a Master’s Degree in Communication Design but also contributed as a Guest Lecturer and Teaching Assistant, even before graduation.
​
In 2016, Salvi's ambition materialized into his own advertising agency, "Daniel Salvi - Branding & Design Consulting", marking his entry into the world of international communication projects. Salvi's career took a significant turn in 2018 when he became the assistant and direct student of Armando Milani, then President of Alliance Graphique Internationale Italy. This mentorship opened doors to participate in the organization of the acclaimed “UBUNTU” exhibition at the MUBA Museum in Milan. Here, Salvi’s works were displayed alongside creations of renowned international designers like Milton Glaser and Massimo Vignelli.
​
Since 2023, Salvi has ventured into the realm of artistic visualizations, where he fuses his creativity with AI technology to explore human emotions and the unconscious. His innovative work in this field is not just a continuation of his artistic journey but a pioneering effort in the evolving landscape of digital art, establishing him as a leading figure in the intersection of technology, design, and emotional expression.
About "Goddesses & Muses"
​
Daniel Salvi creates an ode to humanity, according to the manifestation he considers the purest, most vital, universal, and full of wonder: the feminine.
The “Goddesses” are a series that Daniel Salvi dedicates to works that portray one of the most recurring subjects in his oeuvre, the female figure, flourishing in metaphysical spaces devoid of any temporal context.
​
The “Timelessness” at the base of every aspect of Daniel Salvi’s work takes shape in visualizations that center on subjects immortal through the ages, such as emotions, human passions, and ancient European and Middle Eastern mythologies, upon which the very archetypes of every story have been built.
​
In the eyes of these “Goddesses,” the strongest emotions pass—revenge, abandonment, betrayal, ecstasy—yet they transmit them with grace and composure, avoiding becoming prey to impulses and instead becoming their universal vehicle, in which every person can identify.
From darkness and obscurity,
from sleep and from the smoke of clouds—elements that since the time of the Odyssey represent the manifestation of the mystical and the incomprehensible—emerge the faces of the goddesses, emanating an often unreal light, as if projected or emitted by the subject themselves:
they are the Suns and Moons of these microcosms cut off from time and space. Everything exists through them, for them, in that single eternal moment of action.
For this reason, every element is suspended and immobile, every subject is statuesque, stable, and rooted, quiet and waiting.The gazes of the Goddesses, when open and visible, represent the only way to escape these closed spaces, infinitely expandable yet suffocating:
they look at the observer without hesitation, implicating them, creating a bridge and a dialogue between their world and ours, between the immutable suspended and the dynamically changing.
The “Goddesses” are unique planets that the observer, becoming themselves a presence outside of any reality, can visit at their leisure, thereby immediately evoking the emotions that have given them image.
