About the artist

Max-Daniel is a Parisian artist whose career spans more than fifty years of practice, research, and experimentation. Doctor of Arts and Art Sciences from the Sorbonne, he developed an early interest in the intersections between traditional techniques and emerging technologies. As early as 1989, within the research framework of the programmed art laboratory at the Centre Saint-Charles, he produced his first works combining computing and pictorial practices.

His work has been shown in several exhibitions in Paris and elsewhere, notably in Machines to Communicate at the Cité des Sciences in 1991-1992, at the Egner gallery in 1994 with Retrait-recouvrement, at the IESA gallery in 1995, and later in other contexts, notably at the Futuroscope.

From 1989 to 2026, parallel to his teaching and lecturing activity at the university, Max-Daniel has continued an ongoing personal research into hybrid works, today often referred to as mixed-media. This research explores possible continuities between digital tools, printing processes, and pictorial know-how inherited from several centuries.

Now 69 years old, he combines IA, digital processing, pigment printing on canvas and oil painting by glazes, veils, and highlights, in a technical approach open to multiple centuries of history. His work asserts a decidedly postmodern, free and independent stance, distant from conventional categories, traditional circuits, and narrow definitions of the art market.

About the work

With Saint Sebastian, Max-Daniel revisits a major figure of Western iconography in a composition of strong dramatic intensity. The tension of the body, the verticality of the pose, the light passing through the scene, and the richness of the details give the overall piece a striking presence.

The work combines spirituality, classical beauty, and expressive power. The treatment of flesh, wounds, drapery, the tree, and the warrior accessories places the composition in a vision that is both timeless and deeply embodied.

The finish with Sennelier glossy oil varnish enhances color depth, light vibrancy, and the visual density of the whole.
