About

Bio

Daniel Criblez is a surrealist multi-media artist & curator. He intuitively explores: sculpture, film, animation, painting, drawing & music.

Criblez is a curator at heart creating multi-sensory events & projects with his company, Ambient Pasta. Collaborating with his creative community of Brooklyn, he finds evidence of expression through chefs, musicians, visual artists, poets, filmmakers, writers & anyone interested in the arts. He has curated & produced 30+ events during his time in NYC.

Criblez creates music under his childhood nickname, Weeze. His music inspires his deep & experimental passion for filmmaking. He has released 2 densely layered short films; “The 8ugs R 7ruit” & “EVERYTHING’S A LIE” that were created in correlation with collections of music. His experimental creative mind set tends to warp his visual & audio perspectives for multi-disciplinary projects.

Working as a freelance graphic designer & animator, he has collaborated with many musicians & clients to create the visual side of their projects. He has a BFA in Sculpture from Lyme Academy of Fine Arts and has taught himself film/animation, music, graphic design & event producing.

“Discovering the unseen. The chase of another world continues to show when working in the many mediums I experiment in. Intuition guides ideas reflecting rich purity and lack of explanation. Creation is a constant for me, breaking through societal boxes and exploring what's possible. My paintings are interesting when I don't understand them. It starts a conversation in my head that explores possibilities and theories of what they are trying to tell me. I hope to create this experience for my viewers, creating unique dialogue and theories to explore - further than what's on the canvas. I am currently exploring the act and journey of world building. Blossoming my surreal figurative characters into environments. I'm curious about the concept of consistency, the more you see, the more you accept an image. Repetition is a natural instinctual reaction we have - looking for familiar images to link ideas and narrative. I enjoy working with animation because it gives me the opportunity to grant movement to these characters. Composition and color relationships are skills I lean on, when creating intuitively to build something beautiful - full of questions.”
