About Daniel

The extraordinary, luminous artwork of Daniel Ambrose resides in exceptional art collections worldwide. He is renowned for his hauntingly beautiful paintings in both oil and egg tempera. Ambrose is a master of painting in the historic medium of egg tempera, perfected in the High Renaissance centuries ago.  To create his timeless pieces, Ambrose handcrafts his paint from a 15th-century Italian recipe using egg yolks and powdered pigments. A Signature member of the American Society of Marine Artists, and co-Founder of the American Tonalist Society. Daniel’s soulful paintings emanate an understated, ethereal beauty seldom found in contemporary art.

“Daniel Ambrose is a self taught representational artist who paints the vanishing coastal environments of Florida in the southeastern United States in richly painted egg tempera works of great mood and atmosphere. He has seriously researched important Florida locations throughout the state. Ambrose then reinterprets the actual scene by simplifying and modifying his subject by adding his own version of Florida light. Ambrose’s atmosphere is dewy and warm with a sense of sfumato that identifies and binds his unique version of the Florida landscape.” Gary R. Libby, Director Emeritus, The Museum of Arts and Sciences.

“Daniel paints with such a tender and open heart and I always love hosting an exhibit for him.” – Barbara Hughes.
