Biography

Born in Toronto, June 1st 1974. Diagnosed at the age of 3 as an autistic child. Since he was very young his art won awards. When he was 16 he was invited to show his art at the Fine Arts Department at York University. In March of 1999 he participated in a group show at the Walter Hall of the University of Toronto.

Description of his artistic technique

Daniel, a very talented young man, has been painting since he was 11 years old. His favourite mediums are wax crayons and oils pastels on paper. Daniel's technique is very much his own. His trademark style, vigorous colouring followed by a diligent process of scratching the surface with his fingernails, creates a sense of depth, vitality and movement in his work. In addition his art reveals an impeccable sense of colour combination and composition which are always changing, evoking an infinite number of moods. The end product, as you can appreciate, is one of true self-realization.
