French minimalist abstract artist Daniel Reimann is an artist whose work combines simplicity with deep philosophy. At the beginning of his creative career, Daniel painted in the spirit of realism, then he was engaged in sculpture, but later he realized the limits of these directions and chose the "artist's jazz" - abstraction with a philosophical basis.
Reimann's minimalism sends the viewer back to the origins, when drawing was the only way people could communicate. It was color and shape that became the first language for mankind. Daniel's philosophy is close to primitive art - it is the transfer of one's feelings, thoughts and sensations through color and composition. At the same time, the work is always deployed in time - Daniel prefers to create slowly, in several approaches. So, layer by layer, his canvases reproduce the movement from chaos to harmony and balance.
Paints for Reimann are not only a source of color, but also of texture. The basis for the future picture can be created with voluminous drops, massive ridges of color. Like the landscape of the planet's surface, spontaneously shaped by the artist and hidden under new layers of paint. The color that the viewer sees from a distance changes as they approach the painting.
Every morning the artist chooses a motto that defines the creative process. In order for the manifesto to work, Daniel announces the "word of the day" publicly - the viewer has the opportunity to follow the embodiment and development of a given topic in the material. But the main idea remains the same: “beauty is in simplicity”. Indeed, according to the artist, it is minimalism that disposes the viewer to freedom of perception, and abstraction is a mirror of our personal feelings and thoughts, it can change with the viewer, each time acquiring new meanings.
