He is a very successful contemporary artist of global acclaim. Daza loves travelling and has participated in more than 100 exhibitions all over the world including Europe, North and South America, and Asia. His work has featured on television and radio, as well as appearing in various books and catalogues. Daza accredits his high-quality of work directly to the equally high-quality of the materials used in the formulation of his acrylic paints. Artist statement: In my creative loneliness, I hear the deepest of myself. From a family of aviators, I was born to be an artist. I flew, thanks to my ancestral blood, towards light and colour: my atmosphere, trapped forever in it. So, I continued flying in the magic of colour, chemistry, geometry, my passions mixed with the intensity of my creative imagination. With chemistry I get to manufacture the paint with which I paint today; with geometry and metallurgy I discover my sculptural world in the deepest part of my being, and thus my journey will continue forever.
