Daniel Ross Biography

Exhibition - "Waiting for the
Light" |
Daniel Ross was born in Ottawa, Ontario in 1966. From an early age, he
had a strong attraction to art and after several years at university
realized that his life goal was to be an artist. In 1989 he was
accepted to the Ontario College of Art (O.C.A.) and offered advanced
standing. Not wanting to rush through the program, he declined the
advanced standing and chose to complete the full four year program. In
his third year at O.C.A., Daniel was accepted to study abroad in
Florence, Italy: the experience was unforgettable. In 1993, Daniel
graduated from the drawing and painting department with an honourable
mention. In the years since graduating, Daniel has spent many hours
developing his body of work, and over the last three years has been
able to dedicate all his time to painting.
Daniel’s work has a very
personal vision, dealing heavily with different emotions and their
reactions with certain states of mind. He first began exploring these
emotions through abstract paintings, but was more and more drawn to
the use of the figure and landscape. Through the displacement of
figure and landscape, or object and landscape, he tries to communicate
individual inner thoughts.
‘My art searches for ways to
express how I feel at particular moments in my life. If I am
successful in this attempt, I understand those moments better. The
solitary figure and the winter landscape contrast to capture an
essence of me that provides emotion and depth to the subject. As a
metaphor, winter hides me but reveals itself. Winter become that large
blanket under which I hide but, the way also in which nature exposes
itself in the stillness of the moment. The art becomes that conduit.
The painting, the canvas and the image give me a reason and a presence
in the world.’
