Artist Statement:
ART AND ITS CONCEPTION
In the creative process, we
can start from reality, but we
must find our own way of
communicating, resisting the
temptation to give in to
simple imitation. Reality is
only a point of reference. Art
is and must be abstract to the
extend that it makes use of
ideas, not objects. But being
abstract does not mean being
empty of content. I feel that
if an artist has nothing to
say, nothing to communicate,
he can't create art. In
addition, he has to find a way
of doing so.

EL ARTE Y SU CONCEPCION
En la creación podemos partir
de la realidad pero debemos
buscar un lenguaje propio para
comunicarnos, evitando caer en
la simple imitación. La
realidad es sólo una
referencia. El arte es y debe
ser abstracto en la medida que
trabaja con ideas y no con
objetos. Pero ser abstracto no
significa que sea vacío en
contenido. Considero que si un
artista no tiene nada que
decir, nada que comunicar no
puede hacer arte. También
tiene que encontrar el camino

| Your Personal Biography |
Daniel Pontet was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1957 and has resided in Miami, Florida since 1991. He developed artistically in Uruguay, under watercolor painter Esteban Garino -who taught him the art of drawing and composition- and under artists Américo Spósito and Hector Laborde, who instilled into him the magic of color and a particular emphasis on space and shapes.
Today, immersed in a new plastic period called “Metamorphosis,” Pontet is re-creating part of an enigmatic world of symbols. His works or “collages” look like accurate maps where we can find a path to think as well as reflect about our own spiritual life. This late series is also characterized by colors extracted from the soil and incrusted objects which become powerful symbols or metaphors.
Daniel Pontet started exhibiting in 1975 and has participated in more than 70 art shows. He has received several prizes and acknowledgments and continues to show that his creativity has found no end. Effort and devotion are his most precious tools along with truthfulness.

Daniel Pontet nació en Montevideo, Uruguay, en 1957 y reside en Miami, Florida desde 1991. Se formó como artista plástico, en Uruguay, con el acuarelista Esteban Garino –quien le enseñó los secretos del dibujo y la composición- y con los artistas Américo Spósito y Héctor Laborde, quienes le transmitieron la magia del color y un particular énfasis en el espacio y las formas.
Hoy, inmerso en un nuevo período plástico llamado “Metamorfosis” Pontet está re-creando parte de ese enigmático mundo de los símbolos. Sus trabajos o “collages” lucen como verdaderos mapas donde podemos encontrar un camino para pensar, para reflexionar sobre nuestra vida espiritual. Esta serie reciente también se caracteriza por colores extraídos de la tierra y objetos incrustados que se convierten en significativos símbolos o metáforas.
Daniel Pontet comenzó a exhibir en 1975 y ha participado en más de 70 muestras de arte. Ha recibido diversos premios y reconocimientos y continúa demostrando que su creatividad no encuentra límites. El esfuerzo y la devoción son sus más preciadas herramientas junto a su autenticidad.
