Let’s start with 3 facts about Daniel Egnéus you might not know:

1. He is the inventor of of the style “Quotidiano-Straordinario.”

2. Daniel sees everyday life and art as one inseparable whole.

3. He was born in Sweden, spent 20 years in Prague, London, Berlin, Bologna, Rome, Milan and has now made Athens, Greece his base.

Lucid, dreamy and vibrant illustrations reflect the enticing inner world of highly regarded artist, Daniel Egnéus. His work is an expression of his colorful and rich life of modern metropolis. You might get the feeling that he’s daydreaming; we’d call his artworks “vibrant urban illusions”.

He has published many books and got awarded many times (you may read more about his famous collaborations on his website) but what stroked out for us besides his colorful illustrated cityscapes are those famous portraits!

Where you’ll find his prints?

He is represented by various galleries around the world but if in Europe, you may order some of them at quite reasonable prices by the online gallery Arte Limited where they sell his Limited Edition Art Prints. Now that he’s in Athens, he resides at the Egg Studio along with a couple of other uber-creative Athenian spirits, Philippos Theodoridis and Paris Koutsikos; we’ll be featuring the rest of this fantastic crew soon, so stay tuned!
