Escultor Daniel Palma
Nació en Ajijic, Jalisco. México, el 18 de abril de 1959. Fue alumno de la Escuela de Artes y Oficios de su ciudad natal, donde años después se incorporó a la docencia.
Las obras de Daniel Palma pueden situarse dentro de la tendencia más innovadora de la expresión artística contemporánea en México, A pesar de su vanguardismo, las raíces precolombinas de sus esculturas móviles, relieves y objetos de barro son fácilmente identificables.
Los materiales que él utiliza varían des de piedras, hierro fundido, troncos del árbol, ramas, raíces, huesos de animales, papel reciclado, toda clase de partes y otros pedazos de maquinaria. El reciclaje y el uso al parecer de lo más menos posible usable agregan a la singularidad de su trabajo.
Sculptor Daniel Palma
Was born in Ajijic, JAL. Mexico. On April 18th, 1959. He was a student at the Arts & Trades School in Ajijic where he eventually taught. As a child he spent long hours at the public library making drawings that he later sold as greeting cards. Palma attended the outdoor workshop of the "Garden of the Arts" in his hometown, where well-known national and international artists gave courses. Aside from his studies in the Fine Arts, he also spent years exploring Indian ruins and tombs in the vicinity of Lake Chapala. The work we see today is the result of his past research, combined with a unique of creativity and harmony.
The work of Daniel Palma may be considered among the contemporary artistic expression of Mexico. Regardless of the avant-garde tendency, the Pre-Colombian roots of his moving sculptures and clay objects are easily identified.
The materials he uses vary from stones, cast iron, tree trunks, branches, roots, animal bones and recycled paper to all sorts of auto parts and other pieces of machinery. Recycling and the use of the apparently least usable add to the singularity of his work.
