Daniel Samaniego’s hyper-detailed drawing installations are a meditation on queer persona. He received his BFA in Painting and Drawing in 2007 from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, and an MFA in Painting in 2011 from the San Francisco Art Institute. He has been an Artist in Residence at the Vermont Studio Center.

Samaniego has shown his work in a solo and group context nationally in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Peoria (IL), and most recently in Los Angeles, as a part of the exhibition, Tight Ass: Labor Intensive Drawing and Realism, curated by Brett Reichman at CB1 gallery.
