In keeping with his traditional training in Florence, Daniel paints commissions from life, whilst also exploring his own creativity and thereby bringing a contemporary twist to a classical approach. Through his painting methods he shares a direct link with the great portrait painters of the past, preparing his own pigments and the highest quality canvasses. Daniel’s sitters are immersed into the world of portraiture at his studio, making the experience a memorable journey for both model and artist. Taking the time to have sittings with his model and allowing the painting to evolve over time is an important part of Daniel’s approach.
