It was a fateful encounter that would shape the trajectory of Daniel's artistic career. Under the eye of his esteemed art instructor, Mr. Dare, the budding artist encountered an unexpected tool that would unlock a new dimension of artistic expression: the scalpel. At an age of 15, Daniel struggled to achieve the perfect edge for his work, but with the precision and finesse of a surgeon, he found that the scalpel provided just the solution he needed. Armed with a mount board with a 2mm cream-colored core as his canvas, Daniel's ingenuity flourished as he used the blade to carve into the top layer, peeling it off to reveal his now iconic monochrome masterpieces.
