Immerse yourself in the harmony of Danielle O'Connor Akiyama's art

Painting with an uninhibited vigour and freedom, Danielle creates luminous works of art. Whether she is depicting a riotous party of flowers or inviting us to enter a radiant new world of abstraction, her vibrant palette, loose formal structure and unique vocabulary of signs and symbols make her work both instantly recognisable and utterly irresistible.

Softly Tilting Sky, Original, 48 x 24" 

In order to gain a greater understanding and technical skill, she studied sumi-e Japanese brush painting, and was awarded the prestigious Master’s Seal. The red Japanese chop mark which appears in all her work signifies her honorary Sumi-E title, ‘Source of Joy’. Her distinctive fusion of eastern and western artistry has led to her works being highly prized by art collectors, and she has been the subject of a major fine art retrospective book entitled ‘Illumination’ which further enhanced her status in the UK. 

Although her home is in Canada and Ireland, Danielle has travelled to every continent of the world seeking inspiration. She also collects minerals including gold, quartz and diamond tailings, pounding them to create texture in her paints and making her works even more original by “connecting them to the earth”.


The Arrival, Limited Edition, 40 x 24"

When considering how the pieces work within an interior space in relation to colour psychology, the bright pops of pink blossom harmoniously juxtapose against the base wash of tranquil blues and yellows. The abstract pieces emulate a sense of vitality and peace which is certain to freshen up any room.
