| Born in Toronto,
June 1st 1974, Daniel was 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. This year in March he participated in
a group show at the Walter Hall of the University
of Toronto. He lives in a special home for young
autistic adults in Queensville ON.
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.
