Daniel Petrov
has produced a large and consistent body of artwork. His paintings are executed in oil and acrylic and his drawings in pencil, acrylic, and ink. Fascinated with the human figure, Daniel has developed a dynamic and sensuous visual idiom. He strives less for realism than emotional acuity. Characteristic are his long, fervent brush strokes and a penchant for vivid colors, whimsical gestures, and heightened expressions.
Daniel was born in Bulgaria in 1966. The son of political exiles, he grew up in Munich, Germany. After a brief stint in medical school he turned to visual arts. In 1992 he graduated with a BFA in painting and filmmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute. In 1995 he moved to New York, where for ten years he worked as a cameraman, shooting television news stories and documentaries for international broadcasters. With an ever-growing output of art, Daniel began pursuing a life as a painter. In 2006 he settled in Sarasota, Florida. He has exhibited in several solo shows and over forty group shows across the US and is represented by Canvas Café Gallery in Sarasota.
