Daniel Rivers - Back Alley: Blackheath

$820.00

Daniel Rivers, Back Alley: Blackheath, 2026

Soft pastel on paper, 32×24.5cm framed behind non-reflective glass.

Daniel Rivers is an Australian artist and architect based in Lake Macquarie, NSW. Working primarily with soft pastels, he creates atmospheric landscape works that explore light, shadow, and the quiet poetry of place. His practice is grounded in close observation - capturing drifting clouds, shifting shadows, and subtle moments of change that often go unnoticed.

With a background in architecture and a lifelong passion for drawing, Daniel approaches mark-making as both documentation and discovery. Sketching has become an essential part of his process, a way to slow down, study the natural world, and translate its rhythms into expressive, layered compositions.

Daniel’s work traces a deeply personal geography: the rugged bushland of his childhood near the Wollemi, the sandstone escarpments of the Illawarra, and the ever-changing coastal light of Lake Macquarie. Through soft pastels and a sensitive use of colour and atmosphere, he captures the essence of these landscapes - inviting viewers into moments of calm, clarity, and quiet reflection.
