Piece description from the artist
Bison are fantastic animals, and I find them excellent subjects to paint. I love their bold, powerful presence, ancient earth qualities, and the symbolic meanings for which they are known.
For this painting, I used palette knives to create rich, thick layers of colors and textures to capture this animal's wild, primitive essence. I exaggerated to achieve an emotional impact. It seems apropos to paint this Bison with blue/violet because this color is associated with mystery and magic, and blue because it represents wisdom and serenity.
The natural world and her love for animals inspire Dara Daniel's Acrylic on canvas, mixed-media paintings. She combines bold colors and shapes and lots of textures to create fun, playful interpretations of horses and other animal spirits.
For all her paintings, she combines all the available elements of design to express rhythms and energy and moods and emotion. Dara explains, "Each painting experience is unique yet, my goal for all my paintings is to capture a degree of nature's passionate spirit, joy, and beauty."
