Beyond Botanical: A Guide to Drawing Plants in Nature

Author Biography

Daniel is a botanical artist from Buenos Aires. His career took a significant turn when he decided to learn tattooing, specializing in freehand botanical motifs. Combining his painting expertise with the craft of tattooing, Daniel quickly gained recognition as the only tattoo artist dedicated exclusively to large-scale freehand plant motifs. Daniel then moved to London to work at the renowned Parliament Tattoo, one of Europe's most influential tattoo studios. With a year-and-a-half waitlist, he decided to open his private studio, a unique space set up in collaboration with a plant shop, where he tattoos surrounded by greenery. His unique artistry led to a collaboration with the William Morris Gallery for London Craft Week, featuring a live tattoo performance. Last year, Daniel became the first tattoo artist to participate in the Alexander McQueen Sarabande Foundation artist-in-residence program. This opportunity reignited his passion for painting, leading to a new cycle of art exhibitions that blend his dual passions.
