Biography:

Daniel H. Hochstein is a self-taught artist who was born and raised in the borough of Queens, New York City.

He began his life as an artist in his early teens, creating pen & ink drawings.

The surreal imagery he witnessed during dreaming, and the desire to record and share those images, was what first motivated Hochstein towards becoming an artist.

The artist has traveled extensively in Western Europe and North America, drawing on his varied life experiences to inspire his artistic creations.

His works are in private collections in the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia and Australia, and have appeared in publications such as: The New York Times, Boston Globe, and Art Business News.

Hochstein currently works from his studio in Sedona, AZ.

Statement:

My inspiration comes from my varied and colored life experiences.

In my travels through life and the world, I have had the opportunity to meet fascinating individuals, and witness extraordinary scenes.

I’ve experienced the drudgery and isolation that comes from the pursuit of the almighty dollar – occasionally at the cost of my soul.

I have tortured myself, struggling to understand the pains, pleasures and inane processes of everyday existence.

All of what I have lived through contributes to the creation of the work.

I create in order to express my visions, frustrations and pleasures.

Creating the work is an expression of an emotion that has no name... the art simply must be, and I am the vehicle for making it happen.

If you like the work, great. Drop me a note and tell me why.

If you don't, that's okay too (Sure, you can still let me know why).
