Specs:
Daniel Fleur’s recent paintings blend traditional techniques with contemporary themes to tell stories that resonate today. They feature diamonds, watches, and various social events, using realism to explore humanity’s desire for leisure, luxury, and pleasure. Fleur taps into our deeper longings for escape, even if briefly, from the relentless pressures of daily life. While many of his paintings may seem to celebrate the appeal of luxury items and experiences, Fleur’s focus goes beyond mere allure. He critiques society’s obsession with success and material wealth. This sense of ambiguity and tension is central to Fleur’s work, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of our materialistic culture.More
