Daniel Sabater was formed in Barcelona, where he made two individual exhibitions before initiating a series of trips for America and Europe, where he completed his formation and made numerous exhibitions. Finally settled in Paris, he returned to Spain around 1950. Among his solo exhibitions was the one held at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid in 1953. He cultivated a style framed within the symbolist academicism, and was called "the painter of witches", since these were one of his favorite subjects. Technically, he stood out for his loose and very controlled workmanship, which reaches an enormously expressive sketchiness, and for his brilliant chromatism, heir to the impressionism of the 19th century. It is represented in the Museo de Bellas Artes San Pío V in Valencia.
