INTERIORS

Daniel Ng's interior paintings are reflections of urban life. He is fascinated by views of everyday living, and uses the canvas to showcase his observations.
The subjects of his paintings are an assembly of modern décor. The unique perspectives are enhanced as a result of curved lines and foreshortened proportions. As you view Daniel's paintings, you will be drawn in by the perspective. The composition of line and proportion are pushed to the limits of distortion. The viewer will feel as though they are observing the composition through a “fisheye” camera lens. Each focal point is illustrated with movement and flow, creating a composition of geometric patterns. Bold, vivid colors are utilized on canvas, giving the subjects life and clarity.

LANDSCAPES

After several years spent painting interior scenes, Daniel has introduced landscapes as a new genre. He adheres to the same technique to create these paintings as in his interior scenes.
His designs are inspired by shapes and patterns found in the natural world. Also, he tries to be innovative in his composition by stylizing the objects and simplifying the details of his landscapes in which, the use of color is his main focus. As with his interior scenes, he continues to use bold, vivid colors. It is his own interpretation of each individual scene that sets his paintings apart from typical landscape paintings.

Daniel is influenced by the modern masters, Picasso, Matisse, Van Gogh, Gauguin and Chagall.
