The sculpture of Daniel Dosamantes is nourished by his artistically-rich Mexican cultural heritage and the ideals of contemporary sculpture.
Using marble, limestone and granite, the work of Daniel Dosamantes explores the multitude of human emotions through the use of abstract and representational imagery. The use of elemental symbols, the balance of space, combined with the organic vitality of stone, invokes the viewer to enter a world of wonder, sensual beauty, serenity, and spiritual discovery.
Daniel Dosamantes studied drawing with Robert Beverly Hale and sculpture with Nathaniel Kats, both at the Art Students League in New York City. He was a member of the New Mexico Sculptors Guild, New York Artists' Equity, and the Arts Council of Rockland County.
