Growing up in a family deeply entrenched in the world of Asian art since the 1920s, Daniel Eskenazi possesses a profound affinity for both ancient traditions and contemporary expressions in Chinese art, a wellspring from which he derives his creative inspiration. Nurtured amidst the pinnacle of Asian artistic and intellectual endeavors from a tender age, his refined sensibilities have been shaped by a blend of cultural, spiritual, and philosophical influences. A sophisticated self-taught photographer since the early 1990s, Eskenazi masterfully crafts visual narratives that delve into the profound philosophical journey leading to a deep connection with nature’s essence; an exploration reminiscent of the Chinese concept of li, the inner principle or spirit of all things, captured poetically by the German writer Schiller as ‘It’s the spirit which builds for itself a body.’ Through his photographic compositions, Eskenazi not only orchestrates a harmonious fusion of natural elements but also prompts viewers to contemplate both primal responses to imagery and transcendental inquiries.
Recognition Daniel Eskenazi has been recognized as one of the ’53 most fascinating and innovative artist-photographers of the 21st century,’ spotlighted in Robert Shore’s renowned publication: “Post-Photography: The Artist with a Camera,” 2014, pages 168-171.
