Daniel Wave

(*67) Architect and Designer.

While the world is crashing, those inner images, hopes, and dreams remain.

The randomly generated color patterns open up exciting new possibilities, such as discovering hidden gemstones.
While many of the combinations (at the push of a button), are simple or ordinary, suddenly one reveals a concept
of surprising magic and emotional depth.
These compositions have the advantage of creating something entirely new, free from external inspiration or imitation.
The approach allows for a sense of lightness and a non-structured, minimalist form of expression that still adheres
to a creative process.

In today's society, the guiding principles revolve around performance, style, prosperity, and consumption—a reality
mirrored in advertising everywhere. My new series 'Billboards for the Uncool" shifts the focus to values that truly matter for a fulfilling life: reason, modesty, and restraint.

I only create unique pieces - instead of producing a series, I prefer to discover surprising new gems and try
new concepts.
