Daniel is constantly immersed in study gaining ever more insight into his art practice. "My influences have changed over the years, I’ve had a wonderful journey learning to define what a truly fine work of art is comprised of, recognizing this definition varies from person to person, for me, the goal is to be clean and simple in my approach providing the right amount of information in a piece leaving room for the minds eye to fill in certain aspects with its own interpretations, this inherently leads folks to a much greater connection with the work. Being effective this way means giving my subject a solid sense of place in its environment without overwhelming detail, I consider these key elements in the design, execution and hopefully the ultimate success of my paintings.”
