Daniel Zimmerman

Oil Painter
Daniel Zimmerman is an oil painter living and working in Atlanta, GA. Upon graduating from The University of Mississippi, Daniel moved to Atlanta to explore a more creative cultural lifestyle. In 2021 he purchased a 5,000-square-foot warehouse and converted it into his painting studio, which he now refers to as Roosevelt Hall. His paintings evoke viewer-guided stories of elegance, passion, and desire by experimenting with various forms of portraiture. He explores the ever-evolving landscape of cultural power dynamics within his work. He commingles this overarching concept with themes of personal transformation, uninhibited aspiration, and the development of strength from within. Daniel explores these ideas using classical painting principles combined with an ambitious and energetic improvisation used to explore new ways of expression through oil paint.
