Danny Touw

In the winter I live in the Swiss Alps and in the summer on the Mediterranean Greek island of Crete, my inspiration comes from the beauty of these beautiful different worlds.

I paint every day and have integrated this in my daily activities. I draw inspiration from my everyday environment. I’m attracted by composition thru shapes, tonal values and colours.

I simply like to create images I enjoy looking at and hope others may find them interesting as well, I don’t intent any other meaning with my works. My inspiration starts from the impressionists, and continues all the way with many contemporary artists.

I love to combine different media such as acrylics on canvas, aquarelle, gouache, ink on paper, and fully digitally painted works on an iPad. Changing media influences how I work and I love the impact this has on my works.

I share one of my daily works on my Instagram account named after a-touw-(painting)-a-day.

Thank you for your interest.
