My artistic style spans a broad range including surrealism, minimalism, photographic, and midcentury modern. From retro sign illustrations to whimsical and sci-fi type digital images, I have exhibited my work in traditional art galleries as well as online. With regard to my artistic process, I sometimes imagine new art pieces while falling asleep at night or just relaxing doing nothing and then I bring those to life thereafter which brings me a lot of joy. One might notice that I have distinct different styles of art. Some might think this is a liability but I'd like to think it's an asset.
In early 2022, I first learned about NFTs and quickly became very passionate about NFT art and all the possibilities it holds. I have been studying and learning all I can about this newfound passion and have recently sold a few pieces including a 1/1 on objkt.com. Currently, my NFT artworks appear on OpenSea as well as on Objkt.com.
In the latter half of this year, my hope is to expand my horizons in terms of planting roots on a few specialty NFT sites.

Fragments of the Mind
In "Fragments of the Mind", I create whimsical light and airy scenes utilizing flora and fauna in an unexpected manner. I like working with bright saturated colors, reflections, and simulated pools of water. I've also animated some of these pieces as well.

Midcentury Modern Design Editions by Danny Englander
The Midcentury Modern Editions NFTs are a collection of 80+ illustrations I've created over the past several years. These are a labor of love for me. It's the culmination of many years of being inspired by midcentury modern design, architecture, art, decor, glassware, and typography. I lived in Southern California for 10 years so I got to see some really amazing sights including a few trips to Palm Springs where I became enthralled with the infamous architecture there. The artwork in this collection takes you back to the days of the 1950s and the dawn of the jet-age.

Retro Signs
(Planned 1/1s NFT collection, mid-2022)
Living in San Diego California for 10 years, I was really inspired by all the old midcentury modern retro signs out there. I started to create sign illustrations based on both imaginary and real places.
