danielle o’connor akiyama Each of Danielle’s exquisite paintings is the


result of an emotionally charged experience, spontaneous and free. She has been working with paint for so long that she understands exactly how it falls and reacts when it hits a


canvas, giving life to the image she’s creating. The shapes, the silhouettes, the lines and the linear contours of her paintings culminate in an expression of great emotional intensity. This intuition is something that has moved with her, as she has made the transition from watercolours to acrylics and oils.


More recently, she has been combining traditional methods with impasto and using her


own highly contemporary splattering technique. Yet her work has never lost the subtlety and nuances inherent in watercolour.


Danielle has received many prestigious awards over the years, including most


recently the President’s Choice award, during the Florence Biennale of 2009, and the title ‘Best New Artist’, in the UK’s Fine Art Trade


Guild’s awards of 2011. She has enjoyed major international success as an artist for over 30 years. A Canadian based in Toronto, she has spent much of her life travelling, and has


exhibited her vibrantmasterpieces to great acclaim all over the world.
