Most of my work depicts my own inner thoughts and emotions. It is a raw expression thought. Most of my work so far has been symbolic in dealing with what I and other humans consider the biggest mysteries such as life and death. My work reflects the fragile human condition we are all held in. In the last couple years my work has been very surreal. Described by most of my fans as “Cartoon surrealism.” My work seems to be completely disconnected visually from real life or “realism” yet very emotionally translatable to the viewer. A lot of my work is done without any pre-production sketch work of any kind. The art that is created is strictly just based off of a feeling or emotion that I am getting at the time of creation. The thought or emotion seems to force it’s way out in paint form. My paintings are usually completed very fast within two to three hours and are very raw and vibrant. Most of my past paintings have dealt with the darker side of the emotional scope dealing with loneliness, relationships, sadness and love and the feelings related around love but definitely does not define the emotional scope of my art. Most of that work could be described as “lowbrow / macabre.” Justin Daniel
