Biography

The tension between culture and nature had informed Daniel Oliva's work for years. Growing up just north of Manhattan allowed him to study both the natural world of the Hudson River Valley and the city's influential museums and galleries. He now calls Philadelphia home.

He received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland and has studied in Florence, Italy through Syracuse University. He recently exhibited a selection of work from his series Nightscapes at Gallery Siano in Old City. He was included in the Philadelphia Open Studio Tour's juried exhibition, “From the Studio III” as well as the Main Line Art Center's “Landscape Revisited” exhibition. He is a proud participant in CFEVA's Regional Community Arts Program.
