Study Of A Lizard Painting

Daniel was born in Montréal. As a child, he began sketching nature and architecture with great passion and precision to understand and appreciate their essence and even to magnify their beauty. He still takes daily walks or bicycle rides in the city to stay close to the scenes which inspire him. He continues to fervently capture the essence, spirit and energy of all his subjects: animals, pop icons, portraits, motorcycles, cityscapes or landscapes in the hyper realism genre that is his hallmark. Daniel has no formal training in the Arts and like all great masters…he is completely self-taught. Deeply influenced by the Renaissance masters, as well as contemporary artists alike, Daniel has learned diligently and honed his tremendous technique through experimentation, study and determined practice. Those familiar with him and his work have offered generous support and advice which he is most grateful for which has used judiciously. Daniel's goal is to capture the veritable reality and underlining truth of his subjects. Daniel's ultimate prize is to see the effect of the object reflected in the viewers of his masterpieces.
