A young artist from Saint Petersburg.
Primarily works in painting and graphic techniques, and also creates composite objects from plywood. Danila's works are characterized by rich color, distorted perspective, and naivety.
"Basically, I work with color and depict everyday actions of our routine—things that a person can see every day. When depicting an object, I strive to convey my feeling of it, rather than its actual appearance. New ideas emerge in the form of color spots, after which I complete the composition with a line. Sometimes the depicted subject can adapt to the color solutions. My practice is not subject to a strict conceptual system, and artistic techniques may change, but the primary value lies in conveying beauty. For me, it's important to create a work that would not only bring aesthetics to the viewer but would also contribute to reflection on something meaningful."
Danil's works are held in private collections worldwide and in the collection of the Fabergé Museum Foundation in St. Petersburg.
