Daniel Mirante has been wandering the wilderness of the Mundus Imaginalis for 32 years. A self-taught artist, his art attempts to reflect the riches of the astral, mythopoetic and archetypal mysteries of the human experience.
“I am interested in making icons that honour the deep ecology, of mind and nature as one continuum, unbroken”. Magical birds, inner sanctums, giant trees and dakini’s (feminine representations of enlightened energy) are recurring motifs through his oil paintings. “The gothic painters of Flanders, as well as the thanka traditions of Tibet and Nepal remain my primary inspirations”. Attempting to dissolve typical and worn interpretations of familiar religious motifs, his work attempts to ‘light up’ familiar symbols in refreshed and enlivened ways.
Daniel Mirante has been actively involved in rainsing awareness of contemporary sacred and visionary art for 10 years through the creation of www.lila.info and www.ayahuasca.com. He is a proud collaborator with several other artists under the rubric of ‘The Guild of Iluvatar’, who’s primary aim is to develop a more perfect logos through the collaborative weaving together and sharing of aesthetics, craft and mythos.
