Siegfried DANIEL is a French artist, born in 1973 in Digne-les-Bains (04). In 1991, he enrolled at the Descartes Institute of Nice where he studied art history, painting, drawing, comics, contemporary art. At 17, he was awarded the PACA region first prize for his production and realization of short films. In 1994, after graduating from high school "Section Plastic Arts", he joined the ESRA (School of Audio-Visual Production), then turns definitively to painting. By 1998, after several trips abroad, he moved to Hamamatsu in the Shizuoka Province, Japan where he studied calligraphy with Master Kaneyama. Back in Provence in 2004, he then met the Master of Senas and became his "spiritual son". By its assiduous practice of singular art through drawings and paintings, the importance of Black and White is revealed to him to extract the essential.

The same year he moved to Tenerife, where he began a gigantic work. He achieved "The Triumph of Love", a canvas of 2m x 5m which will draw the attention of Gérard Argelier, cultural attaché and André Barthe, Deputy Mayor, Delegate to Cultural Affairs of the city of Nice. This will earn him the conferment of the Medal of the City of Nice by the Consul of France in Tenerife, bestowed to him at the inauguration of his very first exhibition in Arona.

In November 2004, Alfredo PASOLINO, international critic of art, and Siegfried DANIEL met and from then arises a raved critic underlining the fundamentals of his painting at the beginnings of his art.

In 2005, his work "Apparition" is selected as the poster of the 14th International Congress of Theology "Culture and Faith" of Santa Cruz de Tenerife on the theme of immigration.

He exhibits in many countries such as France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain, Mexico, Taiwan, but also permanently at the Gallery of the Four Seasons in Montreal. In 2010, he took part in the Salon des Indépendants "Art en Capital" at the Grand Palais Museum in Paris where his performance was noticed in the world of singular art by Jean-François Larrieu, President of the Taylor Foundation.

He missed the colours and scents of his native Provence and returned “home” in 2012.

Siegfried DANIEL est un artiste peintre français, né en 1973 à Digne-les-Bains (04). Dès 1991, à l’Institut Descartes de Nice, il étudie l’histoire de l’art, la peinture, le dessin, la BD, l’art contemporain. A 17 ans, il remporte le 1er prix de court métrage décerné par la région PACA. En 1994, après son bac « Arts Plastiques », il intègre l’ESRA (Ecole Supérieure de Réalisation Audiovisuelle) puis se tourne définitivement vers la peinture. Dès 1998, après plusieurs voyages, il s’installe au Japon, à Hamamatsu, Province de Shizuoka où il étudie la calligraphie avec le maître Kaneyama. De retour en Provence en 2004, il fait la rencontre du Maître de Senas et devient son « fils spirituel ». Par sa pratique assidue de l’art singulier, l’importance du Noir et Blanc lui est révélée au travers de dessins et peintures, pour en extraire l’essentiel.

Son bâton de pèlerin l’emmène alors à Ténérife, où il se jette dans un travail acharné et gigantesque pour réaliser « Le Triomphe de l’Amour », toile de 2m x 5m qui le fera remarquer par Gérard Argelier, attaché à la Culture et André Barthe, Adjoint au Maire, Délégué aux Affaires Culturelles de la ville de Nice.
