Lego Freddie Mercury Drawing

Dan of @artfromdanstudio is a champion of the often overlooked medium of coloured pencil. He creates contemporary realist fine art in a surprising, original and innovative way. His work finds both beauty in the seemingly mundane and shines a light on the spectrum of what we treasure and why. Depicting precious stones and expensive consumer goods as well as every day objects that have a jewel like aesthetic. Dans work evokes an emotional often nostalgic response with his subject matter. The honesty with which he approaches his art, sharing the process in time lapses on his Instagram and YouTube (@artfromdanstudio) creates a sense of inclusion in the creative process. His audience can experience the journey of an artwork seeing the precision, detail and dedication involved in bringing it to life and the evolution of his aesthetic style. This open and honest medium, subject matter and sharing the creative process results in Dan, a self taught British artist creating art that is accessible on a technical and emotional level. Ultimately Dans work astonishes in its skill, engages the mind and best of all brings a smile the face.
