Dan Asencio was born and raised in NYC, and left the city in 2015 to take up residence in Ottawa. Dan’s illustrative style is heavily influenced by his urban roots, but he also has a deep appreciation for and understanding of the natural world.
He effortlessly blends these seemingly opposing elements to create unique works of art that have appeared on album covers, in galleries in Brooklyn, and in museum public programming events.
My art is an escape from everyday stresses and upsets, meant to be enjoyed for the colour, the detail, and the exploration and inspection that occurs upon stepping closer. Simultaneously, this escape transfers the feeling of calmness and peace I experience during the creation to the viewer. My illustrative pieces have the central themes of animals, pattern, and bright colours. These three components are things that make both myself and others feel happy.
Her intention as well as attention to details transfer well to the colouring book format.
