Daniel Sabater trained in Barcelona, where he had two solo exhibitions before beginning a series of trips to America and Europe, where he completed his training and held numerous exhibitions. Finally settled in Paris, he returned to Spain around 1950. Among his solo exhibitions, the one held at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid in 1953 is worth mentioning. 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.
