About

Daniel Nelis is an award-winning visual artist, curator and art educator from County Donegal. Rooted in the desolate boglands of his home, his paintings capture moments of stillness and contemplation, with the intimacy of his mark-making registering a heightened awareness of the incursions of time. Nelis studied Fine Art Painting at Ulster University, later completing an MA in Art History, Collections and Curating at University College Dublin. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the National Portrait Gallery, London, the Royal Ulster Academy, the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Hibernian Academy.
