Featured Artist
Daniel Petrov was born in Bulgaria in 1966. The son of political exiles, he grew up in Germany. After a short stint in medical school, he turned to the visual arts and earned a BFA in painting and filmmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute. He worked for 10 years in NYC as a cameraman for documentaries and commercials for international broadcasters. Since moving to Sarasota in 2006, Daniel has exhibited in several solo and group shows throughout the country. Of his work Daniel says, “My method combines discipline with abandon, finesse with physicality. First, I patiently outline the figure. Then, in a rapid onslaught of slashes and strokes, I let my intuition command my brush. The figure is usually alone and tightly cropped. It is either set against an abstract background or surrounded by plants or animals.” (click here to nominate our next artist)
