Daniel Fišer's artworks explore the idea of an abstract skyscape/landscape as a spatial experience conceived and perceived without any reference of scale or direction. His body of work seeks to offer a "direct" perception of space, without involving analytical or rational thought processes.
Combining traditional hand-drawing techniques with cutting-edge digital rendering tools, the resulting pieces are large scale UV ink reliefs and lightboxes, and digital high-resolution animated loops.
Daniel was born in Prague, former Czechoslovakia. He lives in London. In parallel with his practice as a visual artist he is a Senior Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects, delivering high-profile projects around the world.
