Daniel's work has been in over 40 exhibitions in places such as New York, Chicago, Miami, and Philadelphia. His work has been published in various journals and magazines, most recently Studio visit, volume 21, and has received many awards throughout the country.
Daniel's most recent paintings continue to capture his excitement and love of the material, process, and surface of oil paint. His work is created by traditionally painting a realistic image in thick oil paints on canvas. While the paint is still wet, he scrapes, smears, and blurs the paint surface. This results in a more ambiguous depiction of the original image.
The painting process of removing and reapplying paint is recorded on the surface of the painting as all paint that is smeared and scraped off of the surface is reattached somewhere else on the painting. The resulting surface of the painting displays his intense and intuitive connection to the manipulation of paint. This process has given Daniel's work an instantly recognizable language that jumps off the surfaces of his paintings.
