Biography

Daniel Dias (b. 1987, Brazil) is a visual artist whose use of the figure and narration are important tools in Daniel's practice. In effort to place a grounding familiarity and bodily structure within our seemingly uncertain time, Daniel has turned toward the neo-surreal, where familiar images and stories are warped into a psychological portrait of our times and experiences. He tries to plumb into the depths of his own multi-cultural history to present imagery that is both deeply private and universal; teasingly oblique and resonant; humorous and deadly serious.
