"In Danilo Giannoni's work, I can see the union of the places where he lived: Hong Kong, Istanbul, New York, and, of course, Italy. There is a circularity and a fluidity that recalls the continuous unfolding of the world, the movement of the earth. His works are solid and liquid at the same time. They are works of art, and this means that have something immortal, can stop sensations in the time making them precious and crystallising them forever; so they are solid, very solid, so much that I like to compare his round pieces to gems outcoming from the walls. But they are also liquid, because born from the water and water themselves. Danilo has so much respect for the matter to let the water and the color fully express their nature, collaborating with him, not only obeying. He guides, directs, supervises a meeting that, at the end, is always spontaneous, unique, unrepeatable. If you look closely in his art, without moving your gaze for a few minutes, you will enter in its world, experiencing that each of his pieces seem to still move and breathe, palpitate. All of them have something organic and mystical at the same time. They are windows into which overlook to have a pure, profound and unique vision of the existence."
