Dani Selyebi was born on February 9, 1995 in Budapest. After graduating from high school, he participated in a two-year graphic design course from 2016 to 2018, where he already felt that illustration was the closest to him. After that, he self-taught himself in the field of illustration, where he experimented a lot with figurative abstract ink drawings. He also got a taste of the tattooing profession from 2018 to 2019, but soon realized that he could not connect to this profession. From 2021, he started working on orders as a freelancer, where he painted numerous small-scale ink drawings and paintings, usually animal portraits in his distinctive figurative abstract style, but also created label designs as well as book and verse illustrations. In 2023, he began experimenting with larger and larger canvas paintings, and since then he has created several series.

In 2022, he created the cover design and illustrations for his new book of poems for Imre Lutter (president of the Association of Hungarian Poets).

In 2022, he participated in the three-week residency program of Budapest Hybridcycle. (Tiszta Balaton) the works created here have participated in several group exhibitions throughout the country.

In 2022, he participated in several nature-themed group exhibitions of the hybridart pop-up gallery.

In 2022, he held his first solo exhibition (Balance), which was shown at the Easy Art Space in Budapest.

From 2023, his plans took a new direction, he is currently working on expanding his portfolio in order to present his larger paintings through international galleries.

I am mostly inspired by nature and the balance I perceive there. I feel that everything is connected to everything in harmony. Living beings known and unknown to us are in contact with higher planes of existence, but at the same time this energy is also deeply grounded. Perfect channels, thus giving a kind of flow, which can also be called primal trust. This feeling or connection emerges in the here and now, which I started practicing thanks to my painting. Living and keeping the present has now become so connected to the creation that it has become more important to me than any train of thought or philosophy that I want to express. My goal is to experience the feelings behind the thoughts. To express the dynamism of moments imbued with trust, as if these sensitive beings had a direct passage between the boundaries of the astral world.

I would like to express this kind of living, the transubstantiation and a constant cycle.

I prioritize the flow, where I use each spot and line to guide the eye, keeping in mind a dose of dynamism. I try to keep the nature of the character to some extent based on the principle of less is more, but more and more they start to deviate in the direction of abstraction compared to my early, more figurative works.
