The Danielwontdie story
Government name "Daniel Paoli"; He was born and raised in Norman, Oklahoma. It was here where Daniel went on to acquired his Advertising Degree from OU. While at the University, he found his passion for fine art after pressing his way into the art program. Daniel knew exactly what he wanted, and soon found himself studying print making with an emphasis on screen printing.
During his study at the University of Oklahoma, Daniel wound up in a unique position to pursue his dream of commercial cannabis cultivation on a legal playing field. Over the next 8 years he would go on to win several awards and gain national recognition from the cannabis community.
After sitting with himself and his current future, Daniel decided we was finally ready to "evolve". By declaring that he was willing to live the artist's life at whatever costs, he made a decision that forever changed his destiny; He packed his bags and left Oklahoma for good. Fast forward to 2025 and DanielWontDie was born.
Currently DanielWontDie is living and producing art out of Santa Fe, New Mexico. He's actively involved in exploring new techniques and methods of creating. His main focus has recently been mixed media wood panels, which he calls his "mixed media graphic compositions". After spending days cutting and collecting images from numerous sources, some going back as early as the 1940's, DanielWontDie then spends time playing and messing with the different variations of his content. Once he's satisfied with the combination of images and overall direction of the work; he finally starts to layer source material, spray paint, and paint markers in a way that has become recognizably his.
DanielWontDie is looking forward to incorporating new and old techniques as a way to find what he enjoys while creating his own style.
