Daniel Volenec trained at the Atelier Lack (Minneapolis) under the tutelage of Steven Gjertson. Working figuratively, Volenec's drawings and paintings emphasize subtlety and delicate execution. He explores deeply personal themes; the act of decision making, the struggle for acceptance, the reconciliation of broken relationships. After years of creating large works, Volenec is again exploring small drawings, often of individuals within the confines of patterned, thematic backgrounds. Still the themes remain the same. His subjects reveal strength, hope, dignity, faith, and the myriad complexities of the human condition. 

Daniel’s work has appeared in Art Renewal Center Salon competitions and has received many regional and national awards. In 2016 his painting titled “Between the heavens and the earth” was chosen for the cover of Fine Art Connoisseur magazine.
