Artist Statement
In my artistic journey, I aim to capture the essence of the human experience, its complexities, joys, and mysteries. Through each painting, photograph, or sculpture, I strive to evoke emotions, provoke thought, and ignite a sense of wonder. Amidst society's constant demands for our attention, I aspire for my work to offer a breath, a pause, a moment of silent reflection for the viewer.
About Me
My name is Daniel Vargas and I’m an emerging multidisciplinary artist. I was born and raised in Medellin, Colombia. At age 13, I migrated to NYC where I completed high school and college. This mix of cultures gave me a unique perspective on life and the way I go about in the world.
I hold a degree in finance from Baruch College (City University of New York). My early carrier was in banking, working at Barclays Capital. Since 2014, I switch paths and have focused in the tech industry working for startups such as Uber, Zoox, and most recently, Flexport.
The artistic pursuit has always been in the back of my mind. During the pandemic, that fire started to burn more strongly encouraging me to further explore my creativity. The camera, the paint and the clay have been outlets to express my vision and feelings
