Daniel DeSilva Bermudian, born September 10, 1968


artist statement
I see art as visual vocabulary. We recognize images that are most familiar to us. We relate to the effect of sunlight, or shadow, and textures the way that we do to words. The artist and the viewer can share experience through this visual vocabulary.
