To get close with the paintings of Daniel Brophy, and
closeness also include the external often unprotected
space, we need first to get out of safety of our inner
worlds and take a courage to look at them.

The subject of his acrylics is only seemingly from
this side of the hither polyvalence. The palette is
expressionistic, and figures are succinct and clear,
free of insisting in details and without grandeur of
powerful and calming gestures. In these paintings
there are also the intervals, intersections and
inter-realities which open the space to an intuitive
life and imaginary problems that are communicated the
metaphoric way.

It's certain that Daniel contrived creating sensible
relations of his inner self with the world. With his
emerging authentic artistic Self, Daniel
envision some of the universal human paths and
destinies that may lead to Father and God to the
eternal light in the darkness (and the darkness in the
light) over lifetime.

Activating his artistic skills creative human-centric
way and wisely applying "and-and" logic, Daniel
virtuously escaped to get trapped by sterile zealotry,
skipped over naive humanism and endowed us with the
paintings that have soul.
