Rambling coastlines, sun washed decks and romantically shaded porticos
come to life under the brush of Daniel Pollera. Inspired by such artists as Edward
Hopper, Winslow Homer and Andrew Wyeth, Daniel's paintings express a mood
of tranquility and peaceful solitude evoking a sense that 'all's right in the world'.
Using acrylics, working in a warm palette on board and drawing from life
experience, he lures the viewer in with his crisp photographic quality and magical realism.
Daniel was born and raised on Long Island, New York and lives on the water in one
of its coastal towns. Much of his imagery comes from these surroundings and that's helped
to make him one of the most respected and successful painters of coastal landscapes.
Dan has been interviewed on several television programs and his art has been selected
for many magazine covers. Dan was chosen as best cover artist for the third year in a row in
"best of the best' at Dan's Papers, and was given a month long one man show at Sak's Fifth Avenue.
This past summer he was featured in a Sunday New York Times article and most recently, one of his
pieces was chosen to be the jacket cover for the new book of Jacquelyn Mitchard's Twelve Times
Blessed, published by Harper Collins. For years his original art works and reproductions have been
sought after to grace the walls of executive boardrooms, the living rooms of several celebrities
and the many homes of lovers of coastal and nautical landscapes.
