His paintings have also been exhibited at the Monmouth Museum in New Jersey in the United States and at the Oxford Museum in England.
A self-taught artist, he works with pure colors, without mixing them first. On a newspaper collage surface, he developed his own method and his own artistic tools, adding thin layers of diluted colors to obtain new shades, then scraping the still wet paint to obtain textures and lines. and patterns.
“Her distinctive portraits are an interplay between the fluid forms of the body and the linear nature of the text. Here, form is created by a synergistic fusion of word and image. Dan's figures are rendered with an ethereal translucence. They exist in a twilight world without foreground or background, without time or place (Dr Melissa Westbrook, England, art historian and writer)
Reinventing human and animal forms, finding and freely showing the figures hidden inside the papers and found materials, Dans'questions human relationships and animal-human connections.
