Daniel
Hanequand
Born
in Paris in 1938, Daniel now lives in Toronto, Canada. He
went to Sir George Williams University in Montreal in 1968,
majoring in Fine Art, but considers himself visually self-taught.
“My style was already defined by my very ‘settled’
brain. The surreal was surely the most appealing and creative
way to express my feelings.” Hanequand has been exhibiting
his colored pencil drawings, miniature art, and paintings
since 1970.
"Being a surrealist of a "soft-core" nature
is an expression of my need and right to express myself as
freely as possible within an urgent call for freedom and using
the visual input as the best vehicle that permits or allows
my soul to expand...delivering my quest to counterbalance
the "fear of the unknown". My motivation can be
associated with genes that are biologically beneficial to
the source of my creativity and it bears no explanation as
to why and how it oozes-out to better deeds, again the pursuit
of "discovery" is probably best expressed when it
comes to label an overall motivation that leads me to blissful
gratification as well as losing myself to oblivion!"
