Danny Abrahams

Danny Abrahams is a self-taught landscape artist, born in Bradford in 1977. A late comer to the art world he began painting at the age of 32 to fill the void that had been left by no longer playing music in a band.

Danny fell in love with art and began experimenting with different mediums and techniques to find his own style. It was a fast learning curve of around two years before he started to realise his full potential and he now exhibits his work in galleries nationwide.

As a true Yorkshire man he is influenced by the local beauty of the northern landscape, and has been inspired by his many travels during his previous career. Combining these images with memories of ‘growing up’ appeals to everyone with a soft spot for nostalgia. Danny has a love for the surrounding environment, finding beauty in everyday images. The sky is a powerful subject in his work. The overall beauty, emptiness, rawness and power of a everyday natural wonder that most of us take for granted, sets the backdrop for many of his works.

Danny prefers working with oil on board. It favours his ability to capture the many moods of the landscape and the magical ‘skyscapes’ that have become his focal point.
