Danny is a self-taught artist based in Brooklyn, NY. He first discovered his love for painting while gaining his graphic design degree from Fort Lewis College. Since then, he has studied in courses including the Angel Academy of Art in Florence, Italy and more recently with the Uncool artists program. He utilizes his knowledge in these various forms of art to create unique and inspiring pieces across all mediums. In 2015, he designed the campaign poster for I-301 to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms in Denver. He shows works and paints murals across the country and was a finalist at the 2019 ARC Salon.
While a figure painter, his drive as an artist has always been aimed internally, exploring ideas on the nature of reality, human condition, life and death, and self-care. The subjects in his work are emerged in a surreal dreamscape created out of the relationships between his varying techniques.
