About me
Who I am and how I can help you.
Dr. Daniel Josef Maier
Artists by vocation. Artists by conviction.
I didn't start by studying art, but by studying medicine. And it was precisely there, in a moment of inner emptiness and a professional search for meaning, that art found me. By painting a picture to recognize my vocation, I found it: not in theory, but in the creative power of art. I have been following this path ever since - self-taught, unwavering, uncompromising. Not because I am against classical art schools, but because they cannot give me what I understand true art to be: expression, depth and independence. My medical and psychological training has shaped me. It helped me to understand people and emotions - today this knowledge flows into my art. Of course there were doubts. Again and again. But I have learned that they often arise when you try to conform to others. Today, every work corresponds to only one thing: my inner conviction. That's why I put my heart and soul into every painting. For over five years now, I have devoted myself exclusively to art and make a living from it. My great passion is for those who not only want to own art, but also understand it, feel it and live it: collectors and people with aspirations.
I have sold over a hundred works, many of which have been integrated into special collections or realized with companies. My art has been exhibited in New York, Munich and other cities - Paris, Barcelona, Crete and Miami follow. I currently work mostly alone, with a clear focus, structured discipline and an everyday life characterized by art and reflection. Walks, music, podcasts, philosophy - all of these inspire my work. Every work challenges me. Every work changes me.
What makes me different?
I am not an artist who is only concerned with himself. I take my work seriously - not only artistically, but also entrepreneurially. With every work, I ask: What value does it have for collectors? For society? I contradict the romanticized cliché of the poor artist. I see art as a form of responsibility, of communication and of greatness. My work should inspire people to want more. To see deeper. To dream bigger. Art is not just a luxury. It is also truth.

Art is personal - and requires connection. Many of my clients feel the desire for a special work, but don't know exactly what really suits them at first. That's why I consciously take time during the initial consultation to find out which direction, which size, which work - or which idea - might be right for them.
The consultation is non-binding, clearly structured and provides you with guidance. I give you honest advice - not with the aim of selling you something, but with the aim of giving you clarity. If the result is something that touches you: all the better.
