Hailing from Tucson, Arizona, Daniel has over 24 years of experience creating intricate portraits that blend detailed realism with dynamic, free-flowing movement and texture. He works primarily with acrylic and oil paints with a focus on black and white. These elements all come together to create a distinctive style that bridges the gap between fine art and abstract expression.

Growing up in the Southwest, Daniel draws deep inspiration from the region’s rich cultural heritage, personal experiences, and the natural world that surrounds him. This mix of influences is reflected in his work, which explores themes of identity, connection, and transformation. The stark contrast of black and white allows for a powerful interplay of light and shadow, inviting viewers to engage with the emotional depth of each piece.

In addition to his fine art practice, Daniel is a full-time Art Director, designing apparel for a diverse range of clients. This professional experience informs and enhances his artistic approach, creating a unique blend of commercial sensibility and personal expression in his artwork.

Daniel continues to push the boundaries of visual storytelling, inviting the viewer to reflect on the beauty and complexity of the world through the lens of their own experiences.
