Daniel's work can be seen in galleries across the country. In addition to showing in galleries, he has been featured in New York Home Magazine as an artist to watch. His work will also be shown in the upcoming December issue of The Artist’s Magazine where he received fourth place out of 11,000 entries. Five of his pieces were finalists.

Following graduation from the Columbus College of Art and Design, which he attended on full scholarship, he did a brief stint with American Greetings (Create-a-Card) where he quickly rose from staff artist to Art Director. Relocating then to New York City, his skills were further challenged as Creative Director, conceiving and designing major billboards that graced Times Square. From his Central Park South residence he now devotes himself entirely to fine art and freelance endeavors.

Daniel’s work inhabits the space between realism and symbolism, without ever venturing fully into either category. His painting style combines the old world technique of glazing with modern materials on stretched canvas and Stonehenge Printmaking papers. This technique produces pieces of art that radiate with a rich glow as if illuminated from within.

The goal of his work is to make the intangible (emotional, spiritual and psychological) world visible, thereby bringing it within reach of the senses where it can be consciously engaged and better understood. Through the juxtaposition of familiar imagery, he tries to capture unobservable emotions or thoughts. Since his subjects are incorporeal, they are not bound by natural laws and exist outside of any particular time or place.

The dramatic lighting and muted pallets suggest the vacuum of a dream, while the black and white images often conjure the impression of distant memories. Often, the pieces transmute complex arguments, thoughts, and opinions into simple visual statements. This again is a way to confront and understand what may be very difficult to parse logically or verbally. By giving the indescribable a visual counterpart, it is instantly understood differently and more concretely than before.
