Daisy Galán

Artist Bio

Daisy Galán is a Colombo-American designer and artist who is currently based in Palm Beach, Florida. Her studio is a creative laboratory to explore and experiment with all of her senses, art, design, and science inspired by the natural world. She seems to have an innate curiosity and desire to create using her hands to capture nature‘s spirit impressions. Her creative approach reflects upon our spiritual and physical realm of the architecture of the cosmos. She explores the perceptions of the sensory information of nature’s hidden world by unfolding and hand-woven eye-catching colors, patterns, textures, and organic and geometric shapes into sculpting abstract, dynamic, dimensional artworks. Daisy’s interest in the microcosmic sphere metamorphose into multisensory perceptual experiences studies of miniature works of art that she produce before beginning her artistic journey.

‘Observing and discovering nature’s secrets takes patience and attention to detail. To be seen through the eyes, means opening your heart and mind to an alternate view lens and perceive not just with the senses, but with the Soul, discerning no merely the surface but the essence of all what lies behind nature’s many charms’.

Galán recently was selected by the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County to participate in Beyond Blossoms: The Power of Pollinators exhibition, and has shown her work at N.R. Paul’s Studio Gallery on Palm Beach Island. Some of her artworks are in possession of private art collectors. Daisy received her Bachelor of Architecture degree from the National University of Colombia in 1999. She then worked for two decades as an architect and educator, developing a children’s creative program that integrates nature, art, and architecture into a language that expresses the specific needs of a child’s inner spirit. She has since become a self taught full time designer, painter, sculptor, photographer, and ceramic artist. Her training as an Architect has informed her innate ability process, specifically relating to spatial and drawing approaches and testing different mediums, including clay. Born In an enchanting setting between the Andes mountain range and the Amazon rainforest, Daisy’s artwork is influenced by Colombia’s soul as well as its enchanting geo-diverse, bio-diverse, and ancient indigenous culture.

Artist Statement

Popping Eyes in an Urban Jungle, 2024

The patterns and colors of nature have entranced me since childhood. I discovered the magic and attraction of butterfly wings through the lens of a kaleidoscopic and was drawn to the wonders of nature as pollinators are to the allure of flowers. In my work I aim to explore the sensory perceptions of pollinators through their eyes. I consider their interactions with flowers and ability to communicate through a “dance language” to convey flight paths, enhance their ability to forage efficiently, and seek sanctuary even in urban areas. The pollinators’ behavior is part of an interconnected system and symbiotic relationship with all life forms. This balance and unity transcends the apparent chaos of the web of existence and connects to the cosmic symphony of the metamorphic life cycle and beyond.
