Born in Paris in 1938, Daniel now lives in Toronto, Canada. He went to Sir George Williams University in Montreal in 1968, majoring in Fine Art, but considers himself visually self-taught. “My style was already defined by my very ‘settled’ brain. The surreal was surely the most appealing and creative way to express my feelings.” Hanequand has been exhibiting his colored pencil drawings, miniature art, and paintings since 1970.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

"Being a surrealist of a "soft-core" nature is an expression of my need and right to express myself as freely as possible within an urgent call for freedom and using the visual input as the best vehicle that permits or allows my soul to expand...delivering my quest to counterbalance the "fear of the unknown". My motivation can be associated with genes that are biologically beneficial to the source of my creativity and it bears no explanation as to why and how it oozes-out to better deeds, again the pursuit of "discovery" is probably best expressed when it comes to label an overall motivation that leads me to blissful gratification as well as losing myself to oblivion!"
