Leland on Daniel Rojales Sculptures
At a relatively young age, Jose Daniel Rojales is already an accomplished
sculptor, with his works in private collections across the world, as well as a
long list of exhibit
ions to his credit including a Director’s Choice Award at the
Academy of Art University’s 2006 Spring Show.
A graduate in Fine Arts from the Academy of Art University
in San Francisco, Daniel has been a professional artist since 2000. His varied
abilities and interests extend to still life painting, ceramics, mold making,
and advanced welding and forging. But it’s in this last category where Daniel
has truly made his mark.
Coupling
his
training in anatomy, sculpting and metal fabrication with his love of
fish, and
fishing, Daniel has created massive metal renditions of his favorite
gamefish; Bonefish, Tarpon, Dorado, Permit, Steelhead, Roosterfish and
others. His work
focuses not so much in capturing the exact likeness of each subject,
but in the
spontaneous use of composition and three-dimensional form in recreating
it. After
viewing the photos of Dan’s art on our Leland pages, we think you’ll
agree
that his work is both striking and impressive.
We’ve sold several of his pieces in the short time
that we’ve
had them up on the web, so if you’ve missed out on your favorite,
please don’t
hesitate to call us to commission one for yourself, or if you have
any
other questions. These stately works of art will last beyond several
lifetimes, and will give you great pleasure every time you feast your
eyes on the one you've chosen to compliment your living space..
