Dario's art is based on realistic depictions of the natural environment and the fauna found within it, including birds and mammals.
These days, he likes to paint the Australian birds he finds on his travels in remote regions of Australia. Dario has been to the Northern Territory to find inspiration for his art, and frequently travels to outback areas of Queensland to discover its natural wonder. He is particularly interested in painting the beautiful Eucalyptus trees found along rivers and in dry, remote areas. The myriad birdlife such as cockatoos and galahs are found in his work, as well as raptors such as eagles, which are popular with the public.
Dario continues to find new ways to portray his subjects in watercolour, acrylics, oils and pencil, with each medium offering slightly different techniques to capture a subject's essence. His goal is to develop a 'subtle' style of portraying Australia's delicate beauty, with smooth and soft renderings when required, and just the right amount of garishness that can be found in the country's red soils, green and blue tones of foliage, clear azure skies and saturated colours of the birds' feathers.
