Biography
Daniel Rigos

Daniel's paintings offer a glimpse into a mystical and turbulent world. Incorporating elements of impressionism, abstraction and the surreal, his paintings invite one to enter a transcendental realm of tranquility and power.

Daniel has been painting and drawing since childhood and has exhibited throughout Australia as well as internationally. His work is represented in corporate and private collections throughout Australia and overseas.

He works from his studio in Melbourne, Australia and has completed Honours in Fine Art from RMIT University, Melbourne and a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Arts from the Australian National University, Canberra.
