Daniel Verbis

Daniel Verbis - He who keeps his mouth keeps his soul

Biografía del Artista: Daniel Verbis (León, 1968) is an unorthodox artist who experiments with a wide variety of materials, including resins, plasticine, buttons, threads and wool, ropes and plastic canvas, which have traditionally been kept outside the scope of pictorial techniques. Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Salamanca between 1986 and 1991, his work combines installations with painting, integrating both in a playful game that gives priority to questions and interrogations. In his artistic work, Verbis does not recognize the old differences and antagonisms between painting and sculpture, and his images are open, guessing the process that leads the viewer to take up the reading in another work where the same motif is resolved with a different technique. It is frequent that the frame of the canvases is an important part of the final meaning of the image, which turns his works into visual keys for the viewer to make an interpretation of the mechanisms of artistic meaning. In his latest works, Verbis focuses on foil and drawing, projecting colored circles and making drawings with oils, pens and threads. His work focuses on essentialist aspects of shapes or assemblages of neat, unadorned forms, and exemplifies the transgression of boundaries between artistic genres. In short, Verbis is a highly creative and transgressive contemporary artist, whose work challenges conventions and explores new aesthetic territories.
