Before creating any new work, Dan thoroughly researches his subject. Dan takes this often overlooked step in order to ensure the authenticity and
undeniable sense of motion that is found in each of his magnificent sculptures. "To portray emotion and form in metal-that is the essence of art," says Medina, "it all starts in the mind." As the image begins to
form in his thoughts, Dan will create a preliminary sketch to work from. Only when he is satisfied with the two-dimensional image, will he then begin to sculpt. Dan's work allows him to view the world through his heart, using
his hands and eyes as the conduits. His style reflects that fact-that his purpose in art is to express the human experience. "The kinetics and emotions of the human body, along with the pure beauty of nature, flourish through
art." |
