Drawing by Daniel Egnéus

I do not know how many artists there are that continue to produce works the old way with pencils, pens and colors. The traditional methods are being replaced by software that will save you time and money, but will give you something different in the end, something cold that anyone can do because Photoshop is on the hard disk of many people.
Artists like Daniel Egnéus are creating traditional products that come directly from their hand and not from a mouse or a printer. There are shaped and colors that mix beautifully along with themes that are very common like furnitures and objects on them, in fact Egnéus is an internation acclaimed artist that had worked for firms like H&M, Swarovski, BMW and Nike.


















Daniel Egnéus was born in Sweden 37 years ago and made it clear that drawing is all he cares and knows to do. He lived and worked in Stockolm, Bologna, Prague, London, Rome and Berlin and had is breakthrough at the young age of 24.
His works are exposed worldwide in public galleries and also on t-shirt. Egnéus never stopped drawing and his technique can be clearly and easily identified, he developed this style in different rhythms he said :"I randomly had jumps of improvements in a time frame of something like a week, I would learn so much in that window that requests would overwhelm me" he stated; "You become really good when your language is synchronized with your feelings and what you want to do!" Egnéus said talking about his work saying also that inspiration is required is required when there isn't the need to copy something or someone, while the exercise to sharp your technique is essential for your passion and and to keep up with the increasing competition.
