Daniel Lovre - Artist

Meet the Artist - Resident Artist - Exile Tatoo

Daniel is a classical painter, sculptor and tattoo artist who recently moved to Olympia after calling Seattle home for 15 years. He has fallen in love with the culture and landscape of Olympia and his love for classical technique informs his still life paintings, charcoal portraits, marble sculptures and black and grey realism tattoo work.

"I know from personal experience that art heals and unites. It's important now as in any time of struggle to show the beauty in our community. Art can remind us that in the time of isolation and great loss that we still have so much to appreciate. For part of the mural, I chose animals specific to our region that possess great strength and calm dispositions. I'm very grateful to be part of this project and to help brighten up a beautiful, historic building downtown," says Lovre.

Lovre's mural will be hanging at the corner of 525 Washington St. SE and Legion facing the park at the Exile Tattoo shop and Olympian barber shop. Lovre can be reached through Instagram at @daniellovre or daniellovre247@gmail.com for art requests.
