Daniel’s art is informed by a curiosity in everyday objects and a passion for old masters such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Edvard Munch. He likes painting landscapes and still-life's with vibrant brush strokes to create a sense of movement.

He began at an early age by making drawings of Tomas the Tank Engine and Sponge Bob Squarepants. Often going through a package of printing paper per week.

At the approximate age of ten he began attending classes at Young at Art in Cupertino, there he learned about applying colors to canvas.

After completing high school, Daniel enrolled into De Anza College in Cupertino. Where he studied drawing, design, acrylic painting, 3 D design, ceramics and photography.

Apart from De Anza, Daniel is attending classes at Art Hub Academy in Saratoga. Daniel also participates in the Independent Living Skills and Computer Education programs at Abilities United.
