Daniel Richmond

Daniel is a Visual Artist with emphasis on rhythmic patterns. A style that includes a variety of mediums. His stylistic flavor profile is one influenced by his International background. Born in Barbados to British parents he set off on a worldwide journey living and traveling to a number of countries and regions. It was in this unique eclectic mix of regions that he developed his personalized artistic style. First discovering the beauty of Art at the young age of 5 in Africa, his Art adopted a tribal and primitive stylistic personality. You can see this influence in his use of stippling and motifs. That along with growing up in the United States helped his style explode to new heights in regards to color, shape, pattern, line work and overall composition. This is represented in his ability to combine street style with a more refined imagery. It's a fine mix between Americanized and Euro flavor. “I wanted to challenge myself to create pieces that spoke to the viewer and evoked a sense of identity and purpose”.

This piece narrates a personal journey. The colors in the background are executed in a free flowing graffiti style that is common in Daniel’s work. Furthermore, the figure is a self indulgent representation on how the artist is viewed. Although rigid and secure on the outside, the self doubt that lies beneath finds a way to project itself outwards to the viewer's eye. Beneath beauty lies pain. It truly is a sight for sore eyes.
