Daniel Mirante
Daniel Mirante (1977) is a UK based fine artist.
His approaches explore both archaic traditional approaches and ancient symbolism & emerging technology
with the contemporary zeitgeist. Daniel Mirante has had a lifelong engagement in the arts from childhood, and
graduated with a Ba(hons) of 1st degree in Fine Art from Manchester University. In terms of the craft of painting,
he was initially self-taught, though gained valuable guidance from Brigid Marlin in 2008. In October 2012, he
assisted Ernst Fuchs, the founder of Fantastic Realism, innovator of contemporary mischtechnik and teacher of
Mati Klarwein and Robert Venosa. He trained in piamburo with Maura Holden and airbrush sfumato-abrazione
with Andrew Gonzelez in Italy. He also learned much from Timea Tallian, a painting restorer and conservator at
the Victoria and Albert Museum. This gave him footing in traditional old masters techniques, whilst embracing
new technologies as tools of expressing creativity. To suppliment his understanding of classical methods, he
studied life drawing, sight-size method and contemporary Florentine style alla-prima painting at the London
Atelier of Representational Art. These investigations lead to him giving a strong contemporary re-invigoration
to Tempera Grassa painting methods and the development of the Soffio technique via his position as a founding
faculty member and instructor at the Vienna Academy of Visionary Art, and his current online sacred and
visionary art research project at:
