Style and Practice

Daniel’s paintings straddle the line between abstract and figurative, honouring painting technique and image in equal measure. He instils his paintings with a rich tapestry of clearly defined, distorted and suggestive details, evoking a range of personal experiences, nostalgia, and sentimentality in viewers. The artist currently lives and works in Portsmouth, UK.
