Hi, I’m Daniel, an Amsterdam-based audiovisual artist. In my work, I explore themes of fantasy, spirituality and playful nonsense.
Next to my artistic and freelance practice, I teach at St.Joost academy of art and design.
Last year, I took part in the H-AIR residency program in Hiroshima animation season of 2024.
I was also part of Playgrounds NEXT talent development (‘22) and participated at the ASF - European Animation Sans Frontières lab (‘17-’18)
