Bio

Dan Criblez creates mind-scapes within multiple mediums through intuitive exploration. Sculpture, installation, film, animation, painting, drawing & music with room to experiment with something new. Dan creates worlds, building layers of meaningful details in whatever medium he chooses.

Finishing his latest music/film project, 6 feet apart(EP)/EVERYTHING’S A LIE short film, Dan explores world building through sound and animation. Being locked in for most of 2020, time gave him this project to understand the internal and external discovery of being a human in this world & society. The animation was done mostly with traditional; on paper technique discovering how to make his surreal abstract figurative art live and breathe with life.

Criblez is a curator at heart creating multi-sensory events in the East Coast. Collaborating with other artists and businesses, he finds a home for evidence of expression of all kinds. After coming back from his first artist residency at I Park in East Haddem, Ct, there is time for Dan to explore more physical mediums like painting and sculpture. Dan loves to combine different mediums with genre bending art of all forms. 

“Hi, I am an artist living and creating in the moment. The freedom of expression comes with a lot of doubt but beauty. Society isn't built to help artists create, we do it anyway and speak our truth. It's scary for people because there is no structure, just creation. You can try to put art in a box but thats not it’s nature. It's a free spirit wandering from energy to energy. I believe everyone is an artist, just have to open your box.”
