​Daniel Wein, born in Melbourne, spent his childhood between Australia, America, Sweden, and Israel. Daniel sustained a life changing injury in 2014 and completed art therapy to help him through his PTSD and physical recovery. As part of therapy Daniel painted acrylic and oil portraits, using pallet knives and brushes to capture the language of the face. More recently Daniel has started to create portraits utilising a new medium, plasticine. Living in rural Victoria, Daniel is a full-time artist and proud to have had artworks displayed in Echuca, Shepperton and Melbourne. Daniel is honoured to have been a 2022 Darling Portrait Prize finalist with his portrait titled ‘The Epitome of Hymie’.
