Born in Mexico City, Daniel Saldaña Berthier began creating sculptures with tin, brass, copper, and wire in the early 1970’s. He developed a system of cutting
and welding various metals leading to the creation of his “Botanical Sculptures”, which have been shown in Mexico, the U.S., and Europe. Daniel moved to Dallas in the 1980’s, exhibiting his work at
the World Trade Center. He continued to experiment and master his unique techniques of adding vibrant color to metallic canvasses.
“My artwork helps me express myself and possibly connect with others. I find that I become aware of feelings and impressions within me that were either hidden or had not found a way to be expressed.
I see these feelings in a finished piece and it serves as a link towards the next one. It’s exciting to realize that form, color, concepts, lines and ideas are infinite and yet to be discovered. When
I start with a new canvas I think of the classics and with the first stroke of my brush I put the classics away and do MY thing. The rest is pure fun.!”
