"This piece was created using ink on vellum paper as part of my 2011 show, Tinsel. The exhibit took place at Copro gallery, Santa Monica, CA. This and a few other ink pieces were my first ink drawings to exhibit.

I feel what makes us human is the power to reason, choice and fate follow. I wanted to take an object/device/mechanism that applied with these three to represent the human form. What better form than something created by humans that can destroy humans, the gun. What I am still left wondering about is the forth element on what is in the chamber of the gun." - Dan Quintana

Dan Quintana, a talented and imaginative painter from Los Angeles, CA. Quintana’s surrealistic paintings are filled with vivid and eerie symbolism. His dreamy visions are beautifully executed in a way that is reminiscent of the great Dutch and Flemish masters. These exquisitely rendered paintings seem to speak to both the hostility and vulnerability of humanity simultaneously.
