In parallel, she studied visual arts and, with the help of social media, her art began to gain visibility. Daniela is now considered one of Latin America's main exponents of digital art.

Bellissimo corso e super simpatica l'insegnante!
Course was a little rougher than others I've seen on Mandalas. Literature shown was not in English. Didn't learn much that I didn't already know.
Curso maravilhoso, rico em gatilhos criativos.
Muy lindo curso, muy dinámicas las explicaciones y me encanta su uso del color
Me gusto el curso. Aprendí cosas nuevas. Dani es muy linda. Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento y experiencia.
