Daniel Brooks

For over fifty years, Daniel has pursued art across painting, music, photography, and video—often blending mediums into dynamic, multi-sensory works. Circles and spheres have long been central to his practice, appearing as both motif and structure throughout his creations. Fascinated by light and its transformative qualities, Daniel often mixes custom pigments, including interference pigments that refract light, giving his abstract paintings a shifting, dimensional effect.

Technology plays a vital role in his process as well, extending the abstract language of his paintings into video through digital manipulation, layering, and refraction. Whether through brushstrokes, sound, or lens, his work invites viewers into a space where science, light, and creativity converge. Guided by the philosophy to “just keep doing it,” he embraces experimentation, collaboration, and joy in the process.
