Daniel Hilpert is the living testament that a career in finance need not be a borrower’s tale. Having conquered the realms of finance, real estate development, and publishing, Hilpert decided to let his early passions take the wheel. His artistic journey unfolds as a vibrant departure from the monotony of numbers, proving that life’s canvas can be as colorful as his strokes. From boardrooms to studios, Hilpert’s transition is a masterclass in pursuing one’s true calling. In his artwork, automotive enthusiasm and artistic finesse collide in a spectacle of vibrant hues and bold brushstrokes. Layers of oil paint unveil classic cars with a vivacity that transcends the confines of the canvas. ‘In the pantheon of modern artistry, where the conveyor belts of innovation and tradition intertwine, Daniel Hilpert emerges as a champion of the impasto technique with an automotive twist. His latest oeuvre, a series of dramatically textured vehicular paintings, brakes sharply at the intersection of high art and high octane. Hilpert, rather like a mechanic armed with a palette knife, reconstructs the sleek forms of classic cars with a roughness that is both visually arresting and delightfully irreverent.’
