"What Lies Beneath" is a collection of works inspired by the calm amidst the chaos.

The collection consists of pieces with dark, moody, and sometimes even chaotic skies, that have a calm foreground. This is a representation of how Daniel often feels. In his words:

"The sky reflects what's going on inside in my head, with the foreground being what people see. My mind goes at 100mph almost 24/7, but I tend to look pretty chilled to those on the outside."

Daniel believes that the opposite can also be true, with people being calm on the inside but considered to be chaotic by those outside.

Daniel describes his work as being a form of therapy. Each piece represents how he's feeling at the time of painting, and using oils to paint his skies is a much needed tool for him to keep going and get it out.
