At the age of 30, Dutch autodidact artist Danny Giesbers
rediscovered his passion for art in 2016, more than a decade after
he briefly flirted with painting as a teenager. Starting off heavily
influenced by Gerhard Richter’s squeegee technique and style, he
soon felt the urge to develop his own style, technique and process.
Giesbers used 2019 and the beginning of 2020 to experiment and
develop his first concepts. Starting his production in mid-2020,
Giesbers was certainly not helped by Covid-19, as the virus pulled
the rug out from under the offline artworld. On the other hand, it
also gave him more time and mental space to produce.
Change, Balance & Serenity
What drives his art? Giesbers is intrigued by complexity and ever-moving change. That change may be in personality and personal longings, perspectives on society, society’s holism, significant future events and the numerous variables at play, or the interrelationships in an ecosystem. Giesbers' art feeds on these changes, making his work all about transformation, harmony, dissonance, dimensions and contemplation of past and present themes. Emotions also drive his art, as he uses it as a gateway to express feelings and evoke one of his favourite emotions, serenity.
The artist
Intrigued by complexity, ever moving change, holism and dimensions, societal developments, and historic and future perspectives, Danny Giesbers sets out on an artistic journey as a quest to life and its questions.
" Never stand still, keep exploring, stay curious, keep enriching your life."
