Daniel B. Quinones was born in Puerto Rico and raised in Houston, Texas. Growing up in a family of seven and growing in knowledge of street art, and dance, his mind evolved an eye opening experience in art culture. He is always searching for the rawest exposure to uncover the truths in his display of grimy creations in all of his skills. He expresses himself through painting, graphic design, apparel design and poetry. His passion lies within pointing out the wrongs displayed in society as a whole through individual situations ranging from racism to the creation of birth.

His interest grows when he puts himself into others positions, as if he was looking out of their eyes in their everyday struggles. His thoughts are ever moving, fleeting and soaring in their own worlds. His essence of capturing his thoughts is as if he was catching a live animal and harnessing it into artistic submission.

“Watching Daniel in person creating live art is quite an interesting position. His fast performance has you waiting and wanting more.” -Melissa Leslie.

Face to face with the dark members of Daniels creations you get a dose of reality like a slap to the face. Weather it be about something you have done you feel bad about or something you greatly feel is wrong that that you’ve heard of people doing, his work is upfront and as deep as the blackness in his shadowy works. “Everybody paints pretty; I’ll leave that up to the other artists. I find beauty in imperfection perceived by the masses.”

Because he thinks so much, his ideas are like reels of thoughts that are never ending footage of infinite space. Poetry is a faster turn around of thought than the creation of art that allows him to capture more of his mind’s voice. 

Daniel as a graphic designer shines light upon his artistic avenue before the mechanical devices. His knowledge of computer programs and his bold background of art make for a dynamic design when creating in the graphic arena.His graphics are displayed through an array of media, from t-shirts to flyers to websites and more. “I was amazed by the images I had seen on his Myspace page of some of his characters, I later found that they were sketches he had done and then brought them into Photoshop to color. I was impressed by his skills in both areas.” Contact: Daniel B. Quinones
