Using a pallet knife to create strong and gestural strokes,Daniel’sartworkscombinehisinterestsinart, architecture and design. These curiosities, influence his paintings of landscapes, figures and faces. He is intrigued by simplifying the things we see. Inshowing different parts that make it whole and creating layers of paint, which become somewhat threedimensional. Each line and stroke make up that narrative and is further illustrated through expression. The juxtaposition of Daniel’s experience in both art and functional design, largely inspires the aesthetic expression which he strives tocreate.
