This oil painting is part of the series "God's Kitchen" where a variety of natural or physics phenomena are placed in transparent jars and different concoctions for later use or safe keeping. There are things in this realm that man should not or cannot touch but only look at or try to understand and respect.

Dan's works usually depict an alternative perception of the reality that is possible by letting go of the standardised perception of the surroundings.
Once time, space, social and cultural standards become other than boundaries the possibilities are limitless and the creative thought can release us into a freedom which we didn't have the courage to hope for.
He applies the same concept to his process trying to use the result of accidental drops or free gesture finger or brush intervention as a will of a predefined chaos that is used as a pretext for new layers and details of the composition.
