Painting Balance of reflection by Castan Daniel | Painting Figurative Oil

Daniel Castan has conserved his working discipline, a taste for urgent situations and a passion for megalopolises from his first career path as a graphic designer. It was during this time that Daniel travelled extensively in New York and Hong Kong and developed a fascination with the urban world and its larger-than-life perspectives, and now he recreates these graphic ambiances in his painting. A graduate in fine arts, he finally decided in his forties to satisfy his need to create. Not worrying about useless reflections, Daniel Castan maintains a relationship marked by physicality in his paintings. His perspective is one of a distance runner who trains for many hours a day and obstinately moves forward. Only colour and the material count for him and he effectively maintains a power relationship with the canvas: he never waits for an illusionary inspiration, his works are born out of work and perseverance.
