 Daniel
Saldana
Berthier was
born in
Mexico City.
As a young
man he
pursued a
career in
drama that
led to
participation
in numerous
theatrical
productions.
In the early
1970s he
began
creating
sculptures
with tin,
brass,
copper and
wire. He
developed a
system of
cutting
and
welding
various
metals
leading to
the creation
of his
"Botanical
Sculptures"
which have
been shown
in Mexico,
the U.S. and
Europe.
Daniel moved
to Dallas in
the 80's
exhibiting
his work at
the World
Trade
Center. He
continued to
experiment
and master
his unique
techniques
of
adding
vibrant
color to
metallic
canvasses.
The
contemporary
art that
Daniel
experienced
during a
trip to
Europe in
the 90s
continues to
inspire him
to this day.
My artwork
helps me
express
myself and
possibly
connect with
others. I
find that I
become aware
of feelings
and
impressions
within me
that were
either
hidden or
had not
found a way
to be
expressed. I
see these
feelings in
a finished
piece and it
serves as a
link towards
the next
one. It's
exciting to
realize that
form, color,
concepts,
lines and
ideas are
infinite and
yet to be
discovered.
When I start
with a new
canvas I
think of the
classics,
with the
first stroke
of my brush
I put the
classics
away and do
MY thing.
The rest is
pure fun! |
