BIO

Daniel “Downtown Daniel” Antelo is a Los Angeles based artist who produces large scale oil paint murals, canvasses, and signage, creating community engagement through art. 

 

His work juxtaposes hyper-realistic pictorials with soft flowing designs that function together to present contrasting yet complimentary abstractions.

 

These works represent a historical revival of a city’s design history. Daniel believes the marriage of architecture and paint is the key to bringing together a community, making a city timeless. His art nurtures the historical character of a city.
