The multidisciplinary artist Daniël van Nes (Terneuzen, 1972) attended the art academy in Antwerp. He makes carefully constructed works, such as (illuminated) engravings, drawings, paintings, installations, performances and virtual reality. Van Nes works with old engraving techniques, which he carries out in modern materials. His style is related to science fiction and goth and his metal designs and installations are often enhanced with lighting. He also works on multimedia projects and for musicians and artists, both on commission and for himself. His work is shown in museums, galleries and art fairs ranging from Berlin and St. Petersburg to London and New York.
