Daniel Gilpin

Gilpin, an artist and photographer, works with his muse to create unique original pieces. He utilises natural light and colour, especially favouring shadows and natural light to highlight features in his work, likening the process to painting a picture. Despite dyslexia and possibly ADHD, he often writes poems to accompany his artworks. His unpolished, emotional, and experimental style captures the creative journey with nuanced lighting, shadows, and soulful elements. Gilpin produces limited original works, adhering to the principle that even prints should be limited to one original. He believes in the philosophy that less is more, ensuring each nude remains a special, unique creation, avoiding mass production which he sees as just a mild form of pornography. He views the interaction between artist and muse as a unique moment that should remain singular. This commitment extends to his deliberate avoidance of social media, a choice made to safeguard the integrity of his artistic vision.
