(French, b. 1962)
Born in France in 1962, Daniel Raynott started painting very early, visited museums around the world, and made it the basis of his learning. He currently lives and paints in Ireland.
As a graphic designer in the 80s, Raynott collaborated with various French magazines. His paintings are executed with graphic precision; very clean, bright, and full of color. His frequent stays in the United States since the 90s, particularly in California, are the origin of his inspiration.
"California has often been admired, sung, and dreamed of. Its sun, its beaches, and its special light convey a sweetness of life." From his long stays in California, Raynott has kept a colorful nostalgia by creating canvases tinged with optimism and dazzling with contrast, dream villas with sleek modern architecture and their swimming pools sparkling with transparency.
"California Dream” by Daniel Raynott is the glamour of the 60s. Remembering the charm and the colors of those Californian years, Raynott offers us a sunny journey with each of his paintings: the warmth of Palm Springs lush oasis, the freshness of San Francisco, the panoramic views of the Pacific in Malibu or Santa Monica. Nostalgic, no doubt, but also totally in his time, Daniel Raynott pays homage to a land of creativity and optimism that never stops pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
