Review on Muki Paws Series

Escape into the magical world of Daniel Halsall The enigmatic faces that draw you into each picture put us in touch with the natural world. At first glance all is still and calm, but then we join the movement of the swirling clouds and wind, and the flowing water. There are birds and insects, but the flying fish take us most by surprise. Creatures normally confined to a watery world are flying through the air – they are free spirits. Indeed much of Daniel’s work gives us the freedom to explore beyond the now, to accept the unexpected and to gaze into the unknown.

Your adventure begins here. Daniel provides the catalyst. There are very few artists that can give us works of pure charm and innocence, but then delve deep to challenge our perception of the familiar. Enjoy these pictures and their beautiful colours, but be prepared for the challenge and to enter a parallel universe.
