About his artwork, Daniel says "“I live in a world of my own, and therefore refuse to be drawn from real life. I concentrate on drawing my personal visions. My aim is to depict the history and culture of Africa as it really is, in the true colors of nature."
Daniel presents his work maturely with a deep understanding of the subject he is painting. From the African woman, to music and the afterlife of the ancestors, Daniel explores and challenges not only his skills, but also the perception of the art's viewer. And like all our paintings online, these also look even better to view in person!
" He is a native Ghanaian born in 1979. After finishing secondary schooling in 1998, he attended Art College for three years, pursuing drawing, painting, textile design and graphic design.
Daniel's initial paintings to us, now sold, were very thick with acrylics as seen at left. He painted with globs to give a three-dimensional feel to his artwork. The style produced depth and random color to his African art paintings.
Daniel says that “My aim is to depict the history and culture of Africa as it really is, in the true colors of nature. After completing college, I have spent all my time painting. I mainly use bright colors and my paintings are often like decorative patterns of abstract expression”.
Many of Daniel’s paintings can be found in private homes and collections, art galleries in Ghana, at exhibits in Ghana and internationally through True African Art.
