Artist Bio

Daniel Leighton is a prolific Los Angeles-based contemporary artist with a catalog of hundreds of digital paintings. His visceral, heavily archetypal works emanate from resurrected and persistent visions.
 
He is an artist who stands for the importance of feelings - both emotional and physical. Being faced with his mortality since childhood because of illness, the workings of his physical and emotional states have become revered roadmaps as he creates emotional landscapes. His simple lines and brilliant colors capture complicated states of the human psyche and allow identification and acceptance of varied emotions.
 
Daniel’s art combines his four primary areas of study: art, technology, film and the human condition. He uses cutting edge technology to create art that delves into the deepest parts of the human psyche.
 
Art critic Shana Nys Dambrot calls Daniel’s paintings “luminous” with “a quality of rawness and intensity that is both visual and emotional.”
