Daniel Carena

I am Daniel, designer and self-taught "artist", handyman, passionate about drawing, painting and photography, my interest and curiosity for art was born during the school period, especially for the Ready-made and Pop art currents, they introduce me to discover another form of art, decollage, double decollage and collage.

I use mixed techniques, tearing and gluing in layers to compose patchwork of paper recovered from newspapers, old magazines, cartons, packaging or commercial posters found on the street.

The colors but also other elements such as fire, glass paper or the cutter on which prints of icons of fashion, cinema, music or consumer products that I voluntarily degrade are placed. The work is completed with a layer of resin.

My artistic influences have been largely inspired by famous artists such as Warhol, Haring, Basquiat, Rotella, Pollock or Man Ray, but my true source of inspiration was my grandfather.
