About

I’m Daniel, an Argentine artist based in London. I work across illustration, painting and tattooing, with the relationships we establish with plants and the place they hold in our lives at the centre of my practice.

Tattooing draws on my background as a painter. Working directly on bodies has shaped my understanding of how people relate to the plants they choose to carry and has, in turn, changed how I look at plants myself.

My paintings and illustrations draw on the time I spend outdoors learning from plants, topographies and climates, visual documentation and memory.

I collaborate with gardens, museums, galleries and cultural organisations on research-led projects, exhibitions, residencies and public programmes. These projects often respond to a living collection, archive, site or curatorial context. I’m also part of Sarabande Foundation’s artist community, which I joined through its 2023–24 artist-in-residence programme.

A few years ago, I began sharing exercises from my own practice through workshops, which became the basis for my first book, Beyond Botanical: A Guide to Drawing Plants in Nature—an invitation to look beyond human-centred ways of seeing plants and reconsider our own relationship with them through drawing and journaling.
