Ancient architecture, old artifacts and rusted scrap metal captivate him. Whether it is seeing images from around the world or trekking locally in the lower Mainland he feels a sense of history and language. A feeling that holds a strength and purity beyond their physical nature. Seeing what past cultures have accomplished inspires him to create.

For the past six years Daniel has been developing an architecture and symbology to find spiritual connection to the past. He designs structures that capture that historic and spiritual feeling while still blending harmoniously with the natural surroundings. Painting serves this purpose allowing him to explore his ideas without any restrictions. My symbology consists currently of 18 characters and represents the spiritual, mental and physical existent of all things. When the symbols are placed together in a pattern, they demonstrate harmony and balance.
