Matthew Daniels was born in Buffalo, New York in 1963.  He has lived in New York City for over thirty years and is proud to be a real New Yorker.  Over the many years, Daniel’s has developed a true love relationship with one of the greatest cities in the world.  After receiving his degree in Applied Arts, he began to develop a unique and personal approach to painting as he created images in a neo-realistic photographic style.  Daniel’s calls his latest series of paintings ‘New York Portraits’.  These urban images express his fascination for the city.  There is a decorative flavor to his cityscapes, and a soft patina of subdued tones, that creates a feeling of nostalgia for a different era.  Light dominates the compositions and a dense pattern of brushstrokes provides the sense of the vibrant vitality in the dynamic metropolis. He has currently left New York to be with his wife who is a designer in Paris.  Europe is now the market where his artworks are the most successful.  Still, at least five times a year Daniel’s is compelled to return to his home in midtown Manhattan, where he gathers new inspiration for his art from the energy in his beloved city.
