My paintings start where flat canvas stops working for me. I build up layers of acrylic until the surface has real dimension — ridges and thick strokes that catch the light differently depending on where you're standing. It's a way of pulling impressionism and pointillism into something you can almost touch: portraits, landscapes, and cityscapes rendered in bold color and heavy texture, meant to hold a memory the way it actually felt, not just how it looked.

ARTIST BIO
Daniel Curran started painting on the island of Kauai, Hawaii, apprenticing under a landscape painter and developing an early love for tropical scenery. He later earned a BFA from the Atlanta College of Art, where he sharpened the technique that's become his signature: thick, sculptural layers of paint that turn a canvas into something with real texture and depth.
​
Pulling from the Impressionists while building his own contemporary style, Daniel's work favors bold color and visible motion — brushstrokes you can trace with your eye, built from years of experimentation on the canvas.
​
His work is held in galleries, private collections, and public spaces throughout the Atlanta area, and he stays active in the local arts scene — painting live at events, showing at regional art markets, and taking on public art projects. He continues to create new work from his home studio in Atlanta.
