Daniel Solomons lives and works in London, United Kingdom.
A British‑Spanish artist and member of the Royal Society of Sculptors, he studied Graphic Arts and Sound Art and has received several international awards. His work has been shown in galleries, museums and major cultural institutions internationally.
Solomons’ practice is articulated around two interlinked axes: on the one hand, memory, identity and the complex relationship between body and mind; on the other, space, architecture and their social dimension. His research is nourished by processes of cognitive and physical reconstruction that have transformed his perception of the body and of time. These events have given rise to an artistic enquiry centred on how identity fragments, reconfigures and finds new meaning through effort, repetition and adaptation.
In parallel, he has developed a sustained investigation into the urban environment, understanding architecture not only as form and function but as a symbolic structure that conditions how we inhabit, move through and relate to the world. His work engages with the sensory and cognitive frameworks through which space is experienced, and explores how public and private spheres shape our modes of being and interaction.
Throughout his creative process he draws upon a wide range of mentalist poets to shape his ideas, emphasising the importance of immersing oneself in the nexus between images and words. This poetic influence amplifies the interplay between language and form, enriching the conceptual depth of his practice.
His repertoire encompasses drawing, photography, sculpture, installation and works incorporating text, always with a minimalist aesthetic that prioritises spatial intervention. His sculptures often integrate a diversity of materials and stimuli, creating pieces that foster dynamic connections between art, architecture, literature, theory and practice. Through cycles of deconstruction and reconstruction, he invites the viewer to become an active participant: much of his work is predicated on presence, cultivating a performative atmosphere that traverses both sensitivity and intellectual enquiry.
More recently, Solomons has expanded his research to consider the role of sound in activating space. This exploration offers new insights into the physical elements that surround us, deepening our understanding of spatial perception and generating a vocabulary of how we experience and conceptualise our environment.
Among his recent exhibitions are Contemporary Sculpture Fulmer (London), DAMM Museum of Decorative Arts (Moscow), Thames Side Gallery (London), Unit1 Gallery (London), Cervantes Institute (London), UKJFF JW3 Centre (London), Art and Development Factory (Madrid), Centre Sefarad‑Israel (Madrid), IVAM (Valencia), CAC Málaga, MACM Museum (Madrid), GARBA (Rome), as well as Art Chicago Contemporary Art Fair (Chicago), Pulse Miami Art Fair (Miami), ARCO Madrid and Urvanity Art Fair (Madrid). His works are included in public and private collections such as the Royal Society of Sculptors, Unit1 Foundation London, Centre Sefarad‑Israel, Fundación Unicaja and Indra Foundation, among others.
