Daniel Djuro-Goiricelaya

A native of Maracaibo, Venezuela, Daniel is the second of three sons of a Cuban mother and first generation Ukrainian/Russian Father. He was raised in a colorful, multicultural home where different languages were spoken and traditions upheld; opening the windows of his imagination and awaking his artistic soul and curiosity at an early age. In 2004, due to the turbulent political climate in Venezuela, Daniel and his family received political asylum and moved to the US. Since his early childhood, Daniel always found inspiration from the “Los grandes zulianos” artists like Pedro Piña, Edgar Queipo, and Specially the Maestro Francisco “Paco” Hung, for whom he holds a very special place. Today, Daniel lives in Harlem, New York City and continues to explore his media in addition to being heavily involved in promoting and collaborating with other artists in Bushwick and Harlem with “el patio de mi casa” and Bodega COLOR. He was recently featured in Italian L’UOMO Vogue as one of New York’s up and coming artists. His work is a recollection of nostalgic moments; daily routines and movements of cities and their people, which he translates into a strong colorful pallet of heavy layers of oil paint compositions.
