Now based in the UK, Dariotti spent his childhood and formative years in Poland, Germany and Canada. Losing both his parents at an early age and his wife in 2019, at just 39, played a crucial part in his artistic development. Art became the place he could express his inner emotions and he found freedom through sketching, drawing and painting.

Although Dariotti has not received formal education as an artist, he believes that working full time in the home décor industry has helped him to keep in touch with his passion for art. He has taken every opportunity to learn, explore and experiment with new techniques and materials.

In his new book, Till The Last Breath, Dariotti offers an emotive glimpse of his extraordinary journey – a story of resilience in the face of adversity. Dariotti’s biography paints a vivid portrait the immigrant experience through the lens of passion, perseverance and the pursuit of one’s calling. Till The Last Breath is an intimate exploration of one man’s indomitable spirit and the transcendent power of art as he transforms life’s challenges into masterpieces.
