Hugo Daini

Hugo Daini (28 January 1919 – 26 December 1976) was an Italian sculptor mainly active in Venezuela in the second half of the twentieth century. A relevant part of his career is related to monumental work connected to the Simón Bolívar iconography and traditional heroic statuary, of which he left significant examples in London, Caracas, Brussels, and other cities of Venezuela. In his individual and smaller-scale works, where he truly expressed his artistic nature, he played with the human figure joining sculptural dynamism with empty spaces. Daini's artistic career was marked by several notable publications and references. His works have been featured in various art publications and catalogues, documenting his contributions to the field of sculpture, particularly in the genres of monumental and expressionist works.
