BIO/CV
Daniel Zeltner is a trained screen printer.
Following his studies at Basel’s school of design,
Daniel worked for several years as a screen printer.
After that he experienced working in a local graphic agency.
His art has its origins in American graffiti.
The strength and the pursuit of freedom in this
art form is reflected in his manner of drawing
and his painting style.
Meanwhile he devotes his time to illustration and
mural painting.
For many years, he has been showing his skills in
shows and exhibitions in several countries in Europe
and overseas.
Daniel creates and paints for clients like Fossil,
Mercedes Benz, Motel One, Theater Basel, Swiss federal railways SBB or the Swiss Radio & TV company SRF.
His style has a rough touch, is picturesque, yet sensitive.
Everything begins with a ballpen stroke.
