Trained screen printer with many years of experience as an illustrator enjoys and follows the spontaneous, direct and personal in the strokes of a drawing.
His art has its origins in American graffiti. The energy, the freedom, the do-it-yourself, the spontaneity to react to different situations are shown in his works.
Color contrasts, materiality, haptics and arbitrariness are fundamental elements.

 

Daniel sees it as a right and a contribution to help shape and redesign public space to society and community. He devotes his time to mural painting and working on paper and wood panels.
 

Zeltner also implements some of his projects in a participatory form. Murals are created in groups of all ages.

Also he offers workshops on mural painting and drawing.
