Daniel Calatayud's style is characterized by a contemporary reinterpretation of cubism, where the figures are constructed by geometric planes and angular fragmentations that break down the face and body in multiple facets. He uses intense and contrasting colors, with a very luminous palette that provides a strong expressive charge. His works combine references to popular culture and iconic portraiture with an almost architectural structure of lines and shapes, creating recognizable images but transformed into a modern, vibrant and very graphic plastic language.

Painter trained at La Aldaba Art Academy until 2005. He also completed university courses in theory and history of art and artistic techniques and has a Master's degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (2013-2015). His career includes the group exhibition at the María Luisa Palace in Jerez de la Frontera (March 2020), the III Virtual Group Exhibition organized by MundoArti (December 2020), the international exhibition "We Have a Dream" at the Excellence Art Gallery in Marbella (March 2021), the International Art Fair of Paris (September 2021), the IV Virtual Group Exhibition organized by MundoArti (September 2021), the group exhibition at the Hotel Puerto Banus (November 2021) and the virtual group exhibitions organized by MundoArti (December 2023 and 2024).
