Daniloff's paintings are in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Vladivostok, in the National Gallery of Nizhni Novgorod and in Art Gallery of Norilsk (Russia); in the Art Gallery of Donetsk and in the Museum of Fairy Tales of Kiev (Ukraine); in the collections of the Foundation of Dario Mellone and Bank Foundation del Monte di Lucca (Italy); as well as in private collections in Russia, Israel, Finland, USA, Canada, Germany, Belgium, France, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, England, Italy and Netherlands.

For me art is a game, a spectacle, where I am an actor, director, set designer. Travels in real or mythological times and changes of decorations and costumes help me to create some sort of theatricalization as a way of artistic thinking, which allows me to achieve in painting a particular effect that shows playfulness and drama of life. My philosophical stance in art is to be as a liquid that can take any form, without losing quality.
